I love this movie. It had gotten hard to find this movie in stores and this was a reliable way of finding what I wanted. The product arrived in new condition. Just what I was looking for! December 21, 2007

I have an arsenal of movie favorites that I keep for times when I'm not feeling very well. This movie is in it. It's hard to concentrate on those sniffles or whatever ails you when you're laughing this hard! Laughter really is the best medicine. July 23, 2007

Again, as in The 40 Year Old Virgin, we have what was a classic comedy re-edited for its dvd release, and made all the poorer for it. Why won't they release the original theatrical version of Kingpin on DVD--it was PERFECT as it was. The gags they re-inserted for the DVD release add nothing and actually detract. I wish I'd never sold my old VHS, which had an untampered with version. The original version was easily the best flick the Farrelly Brothers or Woody Harrelson ever made.
The original Kingpin was FAR superior to Something About Mary.
Bring us the original! June 5, 2007

rating: 5 QuoteClassic. I love it.Quote
Very rarely do you look back to when you were young and remember 85% of a movie. I am young, and this movie first came out when I was really to young to understand it. Still over the years of me growing up I watched this film and learned what it was about more over time. For example, the jokes, comedy aspects, etc. Anyways, this movie is a classic. They definently need to make a movie like this now days!!!

Pros:
Truly unique, Extremely funny, Good plot (who would've ever thought to bring an Amish guy buy the name of Ishmail into the story?).

Cons:
I was sort of annoyed by the chick (Claudia I think?), but I think she had to play that character to make the movie what it was.

Overall:
A must have for anyone who loves comedy movies! November 20, 2006
