_**Farrelly brothers bowling comedy with Harrelson, Quade, Vanessa Angel and Murray**_ A former professional-class bowler (Woody Harrelson) discovers a childlike Amish prodigy in Pennsylvania (Randy Quade). While training him, they hook-up with the earstwhile girlfriend (Vanessa Angel) of a wealthy bowling enthusiast (Rob Moran) and head to a Tournament in Reno, Nevada, where they reaquaint with a conman and competitor (Bill Murray). "Kingpin" (1996) is a Farrelly brothers comedy marred by their usual distasteful elements, e.g. bathroom & sex humor. If you can get past that or roll with it, this is a decent story of redemption with some laughs augmented by the road-movie plot. The film runs 1 hour, 54 minutes, and was shot in Pennsylvania (Mars, Rochester & Pittsburgh), Nevada (Reno) and New York (Webster). GRADE: B-
