Enjoyable change of pace January 16, 2006
Format:DVD
Totally watchable and enjoyable film, both for it's comic and dramatic aspects. A nice change to see a film that doesn't feature a car chase or a bullet-proof leading man. Also worth mentioning is the soundtrack, with features a nice selection of classic rock tunes. The "Won't Get Fooled Again" segment alone warrants seeing this film!

This is NOT the comedy August 20, 2004
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered this DVD thinking that it was the British comedy about lawn bowling like the above reviewer thought. This is NOT that movie! This is a very dark movie about a racist character, etc. according to the back. The comedy is only available through Amazon UK that I've found if your player can play that region. I've already returned this one and ordered the British one.

Format:DVD
This movie was originally released in Britain in 2003, probably before Dodgeball was even filmed. I say that because there exists the sentiment that this was somehow a spin-off.

Anyways, the concept of a movie about bowls drew my roommate and I to the theater when in London. We had no idea what to expect and wer pleasently suprised to see Vince Vaughn. His character was entertaining as were all the others. In the British context it was pretty funny... very very bizarre though.

Good movie
THis is a very good movie. National Lampoon movies are very funny movies. I bought this movie for cheap and it was worth what I paid.

This was a bargain buy for me so I would have something to watch. It turned out to be a movie I grab 3-4 times a year to watch. Well worth the money. Read more

Fun movie that's flown under the radar for far too long. Give it a shot, you just may love it too!

Fun movie!
If you enjoy Lawn Bowls, this is a fun movie. The American accents were also fun... being they were British bowlers -- but being American, we could forgive them, LOL.
