Kingpin

 

Oh this was, and is still lot of fun. As it's partially a period piece and one of the characters is Amish and the other a man who time has passed by, perhaps it doesn't age as much

Reno, has a difference cadence now

Just noting that if Harrleson is 20 when he takes that trip to the bowling alley, then he is 37 when this movie is made

It is set in Scranton Pensylvania

Bill Murray is great- you need to pay close attention to his dialogue. 

It looks beautiful. King Pin is a road trip movie, and you see a lot of the US countryside. Also the track had some forgotten 90s songs which I enjoyed

Vanessa Angel's character has an interesting arc, she is flees an abusive boyfriend-sugar daddy, she is coerced back -she complies to protect Quaid's Ishmael. 

I did wonder if one of the boys you see in the short clip,  is based on Bud Bundy

I really liked, I still do
