Stupendously silly but viciously funny.

The movie flaunts its ridiculousness and offers a relentless string of jokes about blindness, groin-bashing, and bodily odors.

The few jokes it does land can't make this more than a look-what's-on-late-night-cable event.
By Connie Ogle FULL REVIEW

In the grand tradition of "Beerfest" and "Bladels of Glory," this insistently ludicrous -- and not entirely unfunny -- two-joke comedy satirizes an old Hollywood standby: the big-comeback sports movie.
By Ken Fox FULL REVIEW

Intended as nothing more than a here-today, gone-tomorrow zany entertainment, and at the very least, it has a good-natured, slightly raunchy spirit about it. But ultimately, it's a hollow enterprise, all ping and no pong. It doesn't bounce; it splats.
By Stephanie Zacharek FULL REVIEW
30
A mildly entertaining reworking of the Farrelly Brothers' superior micro-sport parody "Kingpin."
By Marc Savlov FULL REVIEW

A joke of a title in search of a movie with a single good joke.
