Destroyer Wod I watched for the second time this movie today, and honestly i was still a fun little movie just like the first time. I like the build up to Vegas entering the circuit, i like to see him win and all. The only part i kinda don't like is the "moral of the story" at the end, when he purposely loose because he want his girlfriend back. We are then made to believe he left Bowling to rejoin his friends at there small life.That part bugged me up because he could had be a successful Bowling player without all the partying and stuff(and being a douche) that took all of his life and the reasons why Lindsay left him. I would had like to see them reunited and win the big match, after all this is what made Happy Gilmore so satisfying at the end, when he beat Shooter McGavin.But overall its a cool comedy, i like to see him and Mike hang out and all, definitely worth a look.

Johnny_Hing I had to stop watching after the first 15 minutes or so. I watched the initial bowling scenes, and realized that I could in no way cheer for any of these characters to succeed. Why? Well, a few scenes earlier they were getting high, then got the munchies, then ate a couple of slices of a pizza that they were in the process of delivering. Then one of them says to cough it back up, and they actually spit out chewed-up pizza back into the box and try to form it so as to look like it was untouched and that nothing happened. Then they delivered it to an innocent, hapless, unsuspecting customer. Beyond repulsive. There was nothing at all amusing about that scene, nor the ones that followed. I'm not the type who feels obliged to watch a movie all the way through, for better or worse. Possibly the movie got better, I don't know. But I wasn't going to waste my time finding out.

tyzylstra I watched this on DVD under the new name "Strike!" just for kicks and actually did enjoy it. It's basically another Dodgeball/Blackball type of strange sports comedy.As far as the guy that would rather bleed to death...he only watched the first half hour which is what got me hooked on the movie. Oscarz Pizza and all of it's little quirks (see for yourself) was hilarious! The league matches montage was worth a few good laughs too. I'm not sure what this guy was watching, but if he had a sense of humor he should have enjoyed it...oh...and he called Life Free or Die Hard "Fantastic" and "Refreshing"...If you liked National Lampoon's Blackball, Dodgeball, Grandma's Boy etc. etc. you ought to enjoy this movie.

jamesdisnow It's the October Holidays now here in Australia, which means day time television. Which frankly, is trouble - Pretty much anything on day time TV, from cooking shows from lame made-for-TV movies is pretty woeful. Nothing pains me more than watching day time television on Australian free-to-air. But as I have Cable Television, you'd be thinking "Hey, you don't have to deal with crappy shows and movies!" Oh yes I do..Someone at Foxtel thought it would be a really funny joke to play "7-10 Split". I'm surprised they were able to stop laughing for a long enough to even get the movie. But why is this movie such a huge joke? Well, let me tell you why! Now, whatever you're thinking right now about "7-10 Split", it's worse. This movie is pretty much the bottom of the barrel. Well, actually, it's worse than what I originally thought. "7-10 Split" doesn't even deserve to be put in the same barrel. If I had to place it somewhere, (And it's hard decide, I tell you) it would in the middle of an erupting volcano."7-10 Spilt". Catchy, yes? "Well, it must be about bowling!" Correct! Well, kind of. It's actually about a struggling actor. "What? Then why is it called '7-10 Split'?". Aha, it's actually about a struggling actor who's trying to make his name by becoming a bowler! Yes, you heard right, he wants to become a known actor.. by bowling! How did they come up with a plot like this? Of all of the things to make a movie about, this is a pretty poor choice. I'm thinking a bunch of producers got drunk one night and stoned one night and picked a script by random and then threw it to the equally drunk and stoned director. But it gets better. It stars Tara Reid – who for the past couple of years has done nothing but appear in a commercial for an Australian telephone company. Great… But now here comes the truly horrible part – I have to try and describe why this movie is so bad. Well, that's a real big problem, because everything is wrong. I don't want to waste your time listing everything there is to do when making a movie, so I'll try and tell you some of the worst things, yes some of the worse things! Which actually is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.If I had to attack one element off the top of my head, I would have to say the set design. In this movie, the main character goes around to several different bowling tournaments around the country. Simple, right? Just get a couple of different bowling alleys, clear them up and put some banners around, right? WRONG! Instead, someone arranged to go film at one of their mates' office block, clear out all the cubicals, grab some chairs, slap in a double lane bowling alley, and hang some sheets around to make it appear like a room. Well, apart from you can see the pins holding up the sheets, and you can see the gaps in the tops of the sheets. Now, this is bad enough, but to make it worse, they use the same location over and over, for almost all the tournaments! Yeah, you are reading this correctly. They just changed the banners.Now it's one thing to have bad sets, but to make it worse, the acting is horribly lame and completely unfunny or convincing, there's some serious scripting problems (It's like no one ever read or edited it), the directing is dull, there's product placements for Beer Nuts and Guinness beer (Which I will point out was put in a fridge at one stage – It's meant to be served at room temperature) the cinematography is bad, the film looks like someone nicked some film from a porno set, the music sounds like it was nicked while they were there and the wardrobe is disgusting. There's more.. but I'm becoming bored.This would all be forgivable if the film had some charm, but there is none. It feels like there was no passion involved in making this film. On no level does this film ever appeal, in fact, if this film had been made 60 or so years earlier, I bet it would have been used by the SS to torture war prisoners. Given the choice, I'd rather be stabbed and left to bleed to death.Oh, and I just want to say, I only saw about half an hour of it. Which was about half an hour too much.
