DVD. Feature film. Roy Munson was once an expert bowler. Now he's a balding, polyester-clad loser, who wears a hook where his bowling hand used to be. The cash-free Roy finds a potential goldmine in Ishmael, an oafish Amish man who's a bowling prodigy. Munson trains the ingenuous, sheltered Ishmael, and enters him in a million-dollar bowling tournament in Reno. But the bumbling pair need money to get there, so with the aid of a sexy babe who joins them, they hustle unsuspecting bowlers as they travel across the country.
During their VERY wacky trek, Ishmael is exposed to some rather un-Amish things -- like a strip club. But when the climactic tournament begins, Roy considers coming out of retirement (hook and all), when he discovers that one of the competitors is Big Ern McCracken, a cheesy, sleazy ex-champ -- who caused Roy to lose his hand.
A washed-up, one-handed former professional bowler thinks he's found his ticket back into the sport (?) when he discovers an overgrown Amish bowling prodigy and enters him in a $1 million winner-take-all tournament. But first, they've got to beat the man who threw the ex-pro's career in the gutter. From the creators of "Dumb and Dumber." Released theatrically in the USA July 26, 1996.
Color by Foto-Kem; in DTS Stereo.
Additional cast: Prudence Wright Holmes (Mrs. Boorg), Rob Moran (Stanley Osmanski) and Danny Green (Calvert Munson).
Additional credits: Jim Burke (co-producer) and James B. Rogers (assistant director).
Rated BBFC 12 by the British Board of Film Classification. Kingpin Reviews: "...Uproarious....Harrelson and Quaid throw themselves into their cross-country bowling odyssey with unencumbered acting abandon..."
-- Mike Clark, USA Today "...KINGPIN is consistently inventive in its wackiness, with a generous dose of gross-out humor..."
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "...A very funny movie....The leads come together with the joy and assurance of actors who know they are in material that's working....Murray is superb..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "...Presented in a terrific procession of gag-inducing gaggery, Harrelson and Murray knock 'em dead every time..."-- Jonathan Crocker, Total Film "Gleefully tasteless, but with moments of genuine wit."

Two drive-in classics from the 1950s. VIOLENT YEARS: Another cinematic atrocity from a screenplay by Ed (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE) Wood. Leather-jacketed devil-dolls form a girl gang, rape rich guys, rob gas stations, and even engage in heavy petting. A wonderful final line magnificently sums up the entire movie. GIRL GANG: These ladies like nothing better than petting and pot, except maybe feeding their heroin addictions and causing general mayhem. The joyriding turns tragic, however, when Wanda gets shot during a holdup gone so, so wrong.
Untamed girls in tight sweater kill for a thrill in this pretty-but-deadly drive-in ...

CHASING LIBERTY: Pop songstress Mandy Moore (A WALK TO REMEMBER) makes another big-screen splash with CHASING LIBERTY, a charming romantic comedy. Moore is Anna Foster (a.k.a. Liberty), daughter of the President of the United States, James Foster (Mark Harmon). Fed up with the overprotective secret service men that follow her around every second, Anna finally decides to cut loose. While on vacation in Europe she goes to a live performance of the hip-hop band The Roots and then escapes on a motorcycle with a cute photographer, Ben Calder (Matthew Goode). But what she doesn't realize is that Ben is actually a secret service agent himself who is under strict orders to act like a regular guy in order to provide the illusion that Anna is on her own for the first time in her life. As the pair journeys from Prague to Venice to the Love Parade festival in Berlin, Anna finds herself falling in love with Ben. At the same time, the agents on her trail (Jeremy Piven and Annabella Sciorra) find the same thing happening to them. Though the well-intentioned Ben does his best to keep Anna at a polite distance without crossing any romantic lines, it eventually becomes clear that he too is falling for her, complicating the situation. With CHASING LIBERTY, Moore once again proves her undeniably charismatic screen presence.
WHAT A GIRL WANTS: Teenager Daphne Reynolds (Amanda Bynes) dreams of one day dancing with her father at her wedding. Her dream is complicated by the fact that she has never met her dad, Lord Henry Dashwood (Colin Firth), a British politician to whom her mother, singer Libby (Kelly Preston), was married 17 years prior. Unfortunately, Henry's aristocratic family did not approve of bohemian Libby and drove her away. Determined to find her father, who has no idea that she exists, Daphne leaves her New York City home and runs off to London, where, much to the dismay of Henry's conniving fiancée (Anna Chancellor) and her jealous daughter (Christina Cole), ...
