My favorite movie growing up

The Farrelly Brothers’ grimy bowling-based comedy Kingpin holds a special place in my heart for two reasons. The first reason being that it’s endlessly re-watchable. The jokes are layered enough that even after you tire of the film’s gross-out gags, there are so many great one-liners spewing from the mouth of everyone on screen that you’ll find something new to laugh at every time the film comes on TBS.

The second reason Kingpin is so memorable is because it’s the first comedy that I was able to laugh along with my father, a man whose love for Animal House and Porky’s eludes me to this day. Kingpin is able to bridge generational gaps in comedy appreciation, a feat most comedies fail to achieve, no matter how much more brilliant they may be compared to the slapstick stylings of the Farrelly Brothers’ low-brow masterpiece.

Also, you don’t get much more 90s than Kingpin’s soundtrack which is heavy on Freedy Johnston and Blues Traveler.
