Kingpin
You wouldn't want to meet these pinheads in an alley.
Directed by Peter Farrelly, Bobby Farrelly
Produced by Motion Picture Corporation of America, Rysher Entertainment
A raucous, absurdist sports comedy built on crude humor, misfit camaraderie, and the collision of lowlife con artists with innocent Amish naiveté.
After bowler Roy Munson swindles the wrong crowd and is left with a hook for a hand, he settles into impoverished obscurity. That is, until he uncovers the next big thing: an Amish kid named Ishmael. So, the corrupt and the hopelessly naive hit the circuit intent on settling an old score with Big Ern.
