Review

british comedy that’s pretty similar to happy gilmore or dodgeball, only for lawn bowling instead of golf/dodgeball. vince vaughn plays a slick, seedy agent for the up and coming bowler. i don’t really love vaughn all that much, but even those who do will admit that this isn’t one of his better performances. to his credit it’s not a very good role. the film starts off well enough and putters down the stretch. the final game sequence is longer than it needs to be and doesn’t produce many laughs. a throwaway.
