What "Dodgeball" did for...er...dodgeball, "Blackball" does for lawn bowling. That's right...a hilarious movie with the central theme of lawn bowling. With great comedic teaming of English greats (Paul Kaye and Johnny Vegas) with American Vince Vaughn, you're gonna find yourself rolling on the floor. British comedy rocks. This is not another typical pointless National Lampoon...this movie actually has a plot and goes somewhere.
It's also a great introduction for Americans to the oft made fun of sport of lawn bowling. As well, a brilliant introduction to English comedians and English comedy.
