Kingpin Ratings & Reviews
- DaveMarch 25, 2025Would have rated it higher but there was not one reference to a Monarchy of pins. No pins with crowns, no clearly established structure of pins with a hierarchy among them. Plus if I'm being honest I felt like there were entirely too many pins. Like if there was a Monarchy of pins established how could we possibly tell which on was king?!
- TheProdigalJoelJune 1, 2025Kingpin is a classic cheeseball movie which everyone should watch at least once and if you haven't already where have you been?! For me, it's one of Woody Harrelson's best although I'm sure many would disagree. Without this film we wouldn't have got the likes of Dodgeball, Baseketball etc.
