easy to take in, much like spending an afternoon at the lanes with some watery beer

"League" is unexpectedly inspiring as we watch the plucky little league, which only draws a quarter of the advertising revenue of hockey despite having better 온라인카지노추천 ratings, fight for its survival.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 18, 2005

Homely but enjoyable...if you might not want to join this 'League' permanently, you should find it a pleasant crew to spend ninety minutes with.

| Original Score: B | Oct 4, 2005

Without the social questions posed at the beginning of the film, the footage of the competition is not likely to be strong enough on its own to lasso in a new generation of players.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 2, 2005

Director Christopher Browne took a lesson from Steve Miller, when it comes to bowling on 온라인카지노추천 (or in the movies), 'it's all about scoring, pace, and energy'.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 30, 2005

It's a workmanlike film, but by the time two of the above bowlers are rolling against each other for the PBA championship, Browne has the audience sweating every spare.

Full Review | Sep 26, 2005

After a few flourishes of Errol Morris-like editing, first-timer Browne settles into a tone resembling the ESPN telecasts so crucial to the PBA's revenue stream, thriving on the intrinsic drama of competition and the league's emerging star system.

| Aug 19, 2005

Closer to a rah-rah public-relations video than a curtain-yanking investigative piece.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 17, 2005

Bowling with Purpose and Meaning, even if they aren't Bowling for Columbine

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 11, 2005

The film is part nostalgia, part wary tale of wasted youth and part underdog struggle.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jul 8, 2005

Manages to be funny, sad and as informative as you'd want any movie about bowling to be.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jul 8, 2005

It's a curious movie, in the best sense, acknowledging that everybody is obsessed with something, then finding out why this particular group of people is obsessed with this particular pastime.

Amusing and insightful.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 7, 2005

Marvelously entertaining.

Informative and endearing film.

Christopher Browne's documentary acquaints us with these gentlemen by presenting us their passionate quirks that actually don't make them very ordinary at all.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 4, 2005

Its 98 minutes are as easy to enjoy as picking up a spare, and we don't mean a tire around the waist.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 3, 2005

First-time helmer Chris Browne's sense of humor captures perfectly the contradictions, absurdities and drama at the intersection of class, media, money and sports without dissing any of his player/subjects.
