Every time I mention one of my favorite comedies of the 90s, it implies bowling, people’s first assumption is what I am talking about The great Lebowski. While I celebrate the complete catalog of the Coen brothers like any other person with a brain, I still have to point out their attention to those of 1996 CornerstoneStarring Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid, Vanessa Angel and Bill Murray, as one of the finest films about losing his bowling hand after a hustle that went wrong, and kidnap a Amish man with the intention of entering him to a competition against his lifelong rival, that the past behavior is the reason why he is permanently disfigured.
If you can think of any other film that best runs the previous premise than Cornerstone He does, so I would like your people to contact my people because I’m probably missing if there is another movie of this type (you can say that I am a dreamer).
Roy’s redemption arc (or something like that)
Cornerstone He begins as a true history of helpless when they introduce us to Roy Munson (Woody Hareelson), a former Iowa State bowling champion who lives in Scranton, Pennsylvania, works as a seller 17 years after “The incident.” The incident in question occurred in 1979 Iowa, after Roy won the State Bologna Competition and decided to try to go to Professional, defeating Ernie McCracken (Bill Murray) in the process. Salty for losing to a new Hotshot, Ernie cheats Roy to run scams against a group of locals who quickly realize what he is doing, but only before Ernie runs away from the scene while pushing Roy’s hand on the machine back of the ball, tragically ending his career before he even completely started.
Roy’s life situation in Cornerstone She is terrifying, since she is always late in her rent, and her homemade, Mrs. Dumars (Lin Shaye), makes aggressive sexual advances towards him, which suggests that if she forces her to be a bit more indulgent for the money she owes. Working as a supplier of supplies for door to door to door, Roy meets Ismael Boorg (Randy Quaid) when he visits one of his clients. Wanting to exploit Ismael’s talent as his manager when he finds out of a competition in Reno, Nevada that has a prize of one million dollars, Roy immediately receives Ismael’s rejection because he belongs to the nearby Amish community, where he is prohibited to bowling despite his natural talent for the game.
Opening his way to victory
Reluctant to join Roy at the beginning in CornerstoneIsmael agrees to work with the dishonored bowling player upon learning that his family farm is on the verge of bankruptcy. During another failed hustle work (not a pattern here?), Roy and Ismael mark a rich bowling enthusiastic named Stanley Osmanski (Rob Moran), and flee from his mansion with his girlfriend, Claudia (Vanessa Angel), who immediately goes with Roy, causing an innocent and pure abandon them.
Upon learning that McCracken, now a family name in the National Bowling Circuit, will attend the competition in Reno, things get personal, since Roy wants to put his archirival in his place, even if he has to do it with his prostheses.
Not for everyone
I will be the first person to admit that Cornerstone It is not for everyone, but if you are a fan of any of the talents involved with this film, you will feel comforted to know that they really give everything in this ridiculous sports comedy. From Roy’s problem, drink corrupting an angelic Ismael to Ernie McCracken’s oily comb and the charm perceived with the ladies, Cornerstone Is it obscene and sincere Aqual Parts like most Farrelly Brothers’s exits?
If the exploitation of a friendly man of petty spirit to take revenge and close in a rivalry of decades sounds like something you would, then Cornerstone (transmit free in pluto) is he film to make a double function with The great Lebowski The next time you look for an obscene sports movie.
