I thought this film was a pretty decent effort for a british comedy. i think the funniest scene was when James Cromwell is in the car with the learner driver who slams on the breaks at the wrong time! if you look at the boys face just before the camera cuts to a different scene you can see his eyes sort of look down, giving a sort of sad but cheeky look to him! it is so funny! that actor is a genius!
shareI personally enjoyed Starky's entrance onto the field (is it field?) to play Speight.

"AND THAT MAKES ME SO F'IN MAD"
Thats all I'm saying.....
Best bits in the entire film :
When Cliff gets big and blows it cos' Johnny Vegas comes in wit the 3 p's (Pizza Pilsner and Porn, how delightful!) and then Vince Vaughn is going ape poopy and Johnny exclaims "It's freakin' Batman!"
-or-
when Vince is wasted at the very end and barely mouths (cos' he is wasted) EFFING BRITS!! HAH!
Well, thats...THAT'S WHAT I THINK!!!
The funniest bits for me were when ray gets in the limo and cliff says 'What made you come?' and ray replies 'well, I'm an englishman', and then when they enter to play the second part of the game soaked, that was marvellous.
shareMr Speight's one-off line.
"Mr Speight is a tosser!"
The Rocky scene
"For years I thought the club's name was Partick Thistle nil..." Billy Connelly
the funniest scene/quote is...
speight "and the three t's, target, tempo..."
starkey "tosser!"
Any scene with an 'ASDA' carrier bag on show!! lmao
shareWhen Vince Vaughn is seen at the edn drunk and mumbles the word *beep* BRITS! CLASSIC!
There are no great Actors there are only great performances.
The part where Cliff was telling Carrie about the two differant types of bowls players
(Sorry If I got it wrong) Cliff- There are two types of bowls players, the rich ones who play everyday and the ones who would strive to find a green...like me
Ray calls for Carrie
Cliff- And then there's tossers like him
Carrie- COMING DAD!!!!
Made me laugh
The first match where Starkey thrashed Speight was a howler.
In the final match against the Aussies, where Speight said, "I'm on a red green with blue woods, surrounded by two thousand people shouting 'Tosser!', just what *is* my game?"
I liked the Statman in the commentary box and all the cr@ppy hi-tech gimmicks to try to make bowls seem sexy.
"He's the first bloke I've met who I had a t-shirt of since Sooty!"...
"I think that he is a.... (reads newspaper) f'''ing wanker"
"open your legs i want my teeth back"
"Is it on the condom?"
"is he batman?"
"It's that bloke off The Matrix, isn't it?"
-"The "star snake" on the wallpaper"
-"it's canadian maple hence the case"
-"mine's English plastic hence the plastic Asda bag"
-"how about some support?"
_"Nice slacks"
-"Mr Speight is a t$osser"
-When paul Kaye throws the bowl on the banquet table
-What age are the bowl commitee?
they are stone age
-I am the sort of bloke that goes on 18-30 holidays
When they go on holiday that is the time they go to bed
"eat s***"
I just found that funny.
I wonder if those actors were australian, cos the accent was prety much spot on.
The computer graph tracking the wood at the final match cracked me up.
