Kingpin is still awesome all these years later.

the premise of this movie is so ridiculously misogynistic that i'm slightly hurt by sudeikis' involvement in it

not as foul as Apatow's worst. The guys are outright idiots at the beginning, but of course things get (relatively) warm & fuzzy.
I was most impressed w/ Christina Applegate! Billy Wilder woulda cast her a lot.

disappointed that the Farrellys don't actually have a movie called I Am Clinically Retarded, unless that was the working title for Fever Pitch or something

i have to admit this doesnt look bad to me - commercials promise an applebee's gag, richard jenkins and a lot of misogyny, im on board
kingpin is their all time best btw

didnt even realize they directed fever pitch, i guess there were a few years there when studios looked at About A Boy and said 'we gotta get us one of those!'

btw of the 4 big gross-out set pieces in this one, audience groaned more than laughed at 2 or 3.

how about Applebee's product placement?
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 24 February 2011 22:05 (thirteen years ago) link
is that 1 of the gross out set pieces
― johnny crunch, Thursday, 24 February 2011 22:37 (thirteen years ago) link
I only saw two gross out gags in this one but they both seemed really out of place, still admit I laughed
altogether I can say it was better than Shallow Hal (which was god awful), mostly entertaining but only a few legit laughs in the whole thing; the whole side plot with Christina Applegate and the baseball player seemed unnecessarily cruel and a bit too serious for a movie like this. also it has the Apatow staple plot where an awkward, loserish guy somehow manages to charm a girl way out of his league by being weird and stammering a lot around her

The Applegate strand was the most appealing one for me! Needed some 'serious'!
Also, ballplayer had an awesome torso.

except this woman is pretty much just a pair of tits
i mean really, there is nothing at all there other than that
apatow broads usually have something beyond that
loved the hipsters-who-like-snow-patrol bit, zeitgeisty

for all that, this was better than most third-rate bro comedies

wait, I guess there were two women who wanted him, I would only say one of them was just a pair of whoppers
the hipster thing was kinda funny at first but it just veers off into really weird territory at the end, like "we need an exciting climax with action and some danger" so they just have someone go completely off the deep end for no real reason
that said the hard cut to credits in the end really was hilarious

I didn't realize they still wound up doing The Three Stooges movie, w/ out Mel Gobson or Sean Penn.
Sean Hayes wound up playing Larry.

Dargis and Gleiberman are fans of T3S. I dodged this bullet through lack of advance screenings.

Kingpin is not *that* funny, that's all. (I was even tired of Murray by the last 20 minutes.) Their plots always turn to mush, but not always as dully as this one.
There's really nothing more '90s than cameos by Urge Overkill AND Roger Clemens.

Peter Farrelly has in fact made a far richer, more rewarding film than Green Book addressing the subject race in America. It is called My, Myself and Irene (2000), and involves Jim Carrey being cucked by Tony Cox over a period of decades.— 𝕿𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖇𝖑𝖊 𝕰𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖞 𝕯𝖆𝖞 (@NickPinkerton) January 10, 2019
