Queenpins

Aside from the many poor attempts at humor, there still were a few LOL moments. The writing needed to be more consistent and tighter, with better character development. The directing was decent and the score on point. The 110 min runtime and pacing were spot-on. But it was the stellar casting and their performances that elevated this "based on true events" interesting af comedy. Kristen Bell shined as the coupon queen, and Paul Walter Hauser nailed his role. I wanted to see more of Vince Vaughn though. Nevertheless, still enjoyable and a recommended watch. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.

Kirsty and Kirby are the at the best of their performances, I loved the plot and the acting, Vince and Paul... Amazing Duo, you both have given a lot to the plot, what an amazing great movie if you are an open minded person 👌

This film wasn't deep, and at times it stretched credibility, but it was fun and engaging. I'd call it a buddy film on a couple of levels: The main characters, Connie and Jo, and then the sub-characters, Simon and Ken. The acting was solid, though the relatively unknown Paul Walter Hauser stole the movie. I'd recommend this film for unwinding on a Friday night after a long week.

No one is going to refer to Queenpins as a "great film" - the dialogue is often clunky and its side-by-side stories are thematically at odds with one another - but its definitely worth watching as a showcase for the exceptional acting talents of a cast that brings what could have been a ho-hum comedy to life. Bell & Howell-Baptiste shine as partners in crime, and Hauser is achingly believable as the dumpy loss prevention agent, especially when Vaughn shows up as his USPS foil. Cameos by Jack Macbrayer, Paul Rust and Bebe Rexha fill out a cast that makes this hyper-real world feel warmly realistic. Recommended as a pleaser for any movie night!
