Much like life itself, Bill Murray's the best thing in it.

Once, long ago, there was a time when the Farrelly brothers created quality comedy...okay, they created comedy...okay, they made movies...kind of...but at least quality actors were still accepting the roles. This is an example of one of those films. Quaid, Harrelson, and Murray keep this hole-ridden ship afloat by furiously working the buckets for 90+ minutes. Was it amusing? Sure. Could it have been better? Definitely. Do I recommend it? I've run out of space in this review to answer that...

I love Bill Murray's wig :)

I give the movie a 68 and Bill Murray's hair a 94.

This movie has everything: amish people, one handed bowlers, nice titties, Bill Murray, Jonathan Richman (yes, THE Jonathan Richman) and Woody Harrelson rocking the best/worst hairdo ever.
2	Ytadel	5 _57th
Balances its jokes and subplots and underdog sports story pretty amusingly and is an easy watch. It’s all hampered by Randy Quaid though, who I think is one of the most unfunny and physically repulsive people to ever achieve anything resembling leading man status.

Murray and Harrelson are too good for this weird mix of puerile slapstick and dark tragedy.
2	Leonardis	79 _31st
Forgot to rank this forever ago. It's not the most memorable comedy at all, but there are still a lot of quotable lines and hilarious scenes and the two leads work together pretty well. Some of it was silly and that rubbed off on me the wrong way for some reason. It's not terrible though.
2	Hawkins	57 _20th
Dumb and Dumber by the numbers but doesn't quite re-bottle the lightning. The lovable losers aren't as lovable, their chemistry more forced. The soundtrack sounds only half inspired. Skidmark is certainly no Seabass. But Bill Murray is worth watching every second he's onscreen, and of course the hairpieces have a place in movie history. But how high can I really rate a movie whose top selling points include the hairpieces?

Dumb But Cute And Funny

The Farrelly Brothers really just can't seem to miss. Bill Murray and Woody Harrelson both have unique comedic roles in this laugh out loud romp about...of all things...bowling.
1	Magb	60 _23rd
I don't like the ending that much, but otherwise this is a decent and sometimes quite funny movie.
1	lrampartl	71 _62nd
Very fun movie. Whatever happened to Vanessa Angel, anyway? I really loved Weird Science.
1	Nathan S	3 _45th
It's crude prop humor, but it's fucking hilarious.
1	webdw	60 _33rd
This farce has a lot of big laughs. {I'm glad the Amish don't go to movies!} Quaid and Harrelson both deliver good portrayals of zany characters. It was too predictible and several of the gags seemed recycled from yesteryear.

So many people I know love this movie; I just don't get it. It's pretty formulaic.
1	BillyShears	80 _77th
Bill Murray's hair.
1	ImThatDingo	96 _95th
Bill Murray's hair in this movie is epic! Donald Trump has nothing on him! Randy Quaid's best performance. Everything about this movie is perfect. Especially the ELO music during the tournament. <3 this movie muches.
1	Fake Shemp	76 _68th
This gets better with each view, really funny movies [SUPPORTED THEATRICALLY]
1	SirRobbie	50 _8th
Weak direction but really funny. I love the tv commercial with Murray :)
1	ohthatguy	86 _72nd
What could possibly go wrong here? Fucking Bill Murray is the Antagonist.
1	Mortey	78 _71st
The comedy in this movie is rather predictable but somewhat funny, it isn't really a memorable movie, and to create a comedy movie on the sport of bowling is also rather bizzare. However Murray's performance in this movie is just great.
1	Mistakes	49 _47th
Mistakes - 1) Ishmael's chest tattoo is visible before he gets it. 2) During the Reno tournament, there are several instances where you can see the scoreboard above the lanes. Each time, the scoreboard has multiple names under each of the lane headings despite the fact that only one bowler is on each lane. 3) In Reno tournament Big Ern crosses foul line and throws a strike. In tournament play that would count as a zero and the pins would be reset.

Some funny moments, but not enough Bill Murray. Overall, I was never really on board so the final face-off merely saved the film rather than being a slam-dunk.
1	hellboy76	68 _65th
Not all the humor works, but when it does it works well. Murray steals the show but Harrelson and Quaid both hold up their ends.
1	myfavchords	88 _93rd
This is an underrated Farelly brothers' comedy. There are a lot of funny jokes and Woody Harrelson is great. Bill Murray steals all the scenes that he is in.
1	Amadeus	67 _28th
indecent proposal spoof is funny. whole movie is the color of money parody.
1	Yiannos	63 _53rd
Was funnier in the 90's, but it remains one of the better Farrely films. It is too long and the musical montages are overkill, but Harrelson is great as a life long loser, and Quaid matches him as a dim witted amish man. Much attention is rightly given to Murray, who plays a slimey prick incredibly well, and it is one of the better films about bowling.
