Year 2024
Runtime 89 mins
Language English
International Premiere

Inspired by their love of bowling, Yassir and Isaiah Lester's outrageous comedy channels the joke-a-minute energy of the brothers Zucker and Farrelly.

When frequently fired Walt lands a position tending the bar and sanitizing shoes at his local bowling alley AlleyCatz, he feels like he finally found a home. When money issues threaten AlleyCatz, Walt is pressured by former pro-bowler and current champion drinker Skunk to accept his role as the greatest bowler ever put on this earth. While Walt’s love of big checks and his in-your-face style of play dominate the pro tour, his detractors, including “Bowl Lives Matter” host Angelo Powers (Paul Reiser) and fresh-out-of-retirement bowling legend Linda “The Crusher” Curson (Susan Sarandon), furiously attempt to snuff out Walt’s flame before it burns too bright.
