KL, Buy, rent or watch 'The Royal Tenenbaums', ‘You’re on a gravy train with biscuit wheels.’, Directors: Peter Farrelly, Bobby Farrelly, Cast: Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid, Bill Murray, The oft-overlooked oddity squeezed between the giant blockbuster tentpoles (oo-er) of ‘Dumb and Dumber’ and ‘There’s Something About Mary’, ‘Kingpin’ sees the Farrelly Brothers drawing on some mysterious inner pool of inexplicable comedy genius and coming up with the ludicrous tale of a thatch-headed Amish bowling prodigy (Quaid) and his bitter, one-handed mentor (Harrelson) as they head cross-country to the national championships.

It's a film that provides genuine insight and empathy as well as a hefty dose of putdowns and comeuppances.

Now hang on while I fix my lippy. A simpleminded, sheltered country boy suddenly decides to leave his family home to experience life in the big city, where his naivete is both his best friend and his worst enemy.
