You wouldn't want to meet these pinheads in an alley.

Comedy

After bowler Roy Munson swindles the wrong crowd and is left with a hook for a hand, he settles into impoverished obscurity. That is, until he uncovers the next big thing: an Amish kid named Ishmael. So, the corrupt and the hopelessly naive hit the circuit intent on settling an old score with Big Ern.

VIBE

A riotous, often crude journey through the bizarre world of professional bowling. It feels like a relentless barrage of physical gags and offbeat characters, wrapped in a surprisingly sweet story of unlikely companionship and second chances. Expect laugh-out-loud moments and cringe-worthy humor.
