Fun film to watch when you’re bored. Is it particularly good? No. Honestly though, if it can make you laugh then where’s the harm? 2/5 stars. Check it out.

Sometimes you need to watch movies the way you could just turn off your brain and just enjoy the fact that the movie know exactly what it is and this comedy that’s beyond hilarious take on being ignorant as possible is a true definition of an enjoyable movie

Hollywood pitch meeting: "Hey, I've got an idea! Let's make another bowling comedy! But this time, let's center it all about race!". 'nuff said.

Hard to find a comp, but Kingpin meets PutiTang was my first thought...

A rare pure-comedy, The Gutter throws everything at the audience for a legitimately funny movie, even if some of the bits end up in…ya know… the gutter. Walt (Shameik Moore) is a rambunctious, aimless soul who takes his shirt off at job interviews and lives at home with his irresponsible mom (Kim Fields). But Walt possesses a nascent talent for bowling and after teaming up with once-pro, Skunk (D’Arcy Carden), takes to the tournament circuit and quickly achieves notoriety and fandom in the oft staid professional bowling league — think Happy (Adam Sandler) on the PGA circuit in Happy Gilmore. Like any good sport’s movie, our protagonist has a rival. Here, it’s Linda Curson (Susan Sarandon), who comes out of retirement just to impeded Walt of breaking her single-season record. The comedy is packed with the sort of racial, sexual, and blue jokes that once pervaded the genre in the 2000s and have largely been missing for almost all of the 2010s and into the 2020s. There’s a Green Book line that doesn’t even make sense, a extremely niche joke about Shaun King being white, and many one-liners from Paul Reiser as Angelo, seemingly the only commentator of the league. Moore represents exactly what I’d like to see more of in movies. Achieving great success voicing Miles Morales in the Into the Spiderverse series (that has another installment on the way) he takes chances on something like The Gutter that is unique (for the time) and pure fun. Yes, some of it is stupid and I don’t think Carden matched Moore’s comedic caliber, but comedies that “flood the zone” with bits can be successful, if enough of the lines land. The ending tees us up (or sets the pins? Idk) for a sequel that we probably don’t need, but hey, I’d watch it anyway.

This is funny.. Not everyone's kind of funny, but I imagine it could become a cult classic. Susan Sarandon knows how to pick 'em. I loved it.

Yeah...baffling right? Again, why are people chosen to act a part when they have zero skill?

To all the critical critics who criticized what should be a critically acclaimed comedy... 💁🏿‍♂️ GetDafuq outa here🤷🏿‍♂️

Finally a movie that reminds me of old time comedies and politically incorrect times when we can have a laugh. More of this type of comedies are needed in this age of can not say anything.

thank god comedy is back

This provided some chuckles here and there but not enough and story is just overly simplistic and childish with no real arc or explanation why the guy is so good at bowling.
