The bowling scene?

How was that bowling? Is there a such a place where there's a small bowling ball and thin pins to knock down? I really thought that part was odd and how Julia Stiles character fell when she had that very small ball in her hand? lol

This replaced Revenge tonight and Once Upon a Time's new episode, which is my favorite show since it first aired!? The Makeover is so cliche and reminds me of any other political romantic film out there. I am grateful at least there was no Superbowl on tonight though, than I would have turned the channel for sure and been even more annoyed!

I saw the other comment before you and looked it up and didn't know about that bowling game until now. Interesting. No need for names. People can speak their minds on this message board.

By your name, my guess you're the producer. Sorry, I enjoyed half of the film, but we all have opinions and I wanted to watch my show instead. It should have been on another time slot.

Yup There are different kinds of bowling 5 pin (smaller balls with 3 throws per turn) and 10 pin(big ball with holes 2 throws per turn) :) I was actually foreign to 10pin as I had a 5pin alley in my home :)

Oho I have never seen this kind of bowling sorry for the early reply, didn't get to that scene yet. Anyway there are definitely different kinds of bowling so its perfectly fine you didn't know it.

I'm from Massachusetts and candlepin bowling is the only type of bowling I grew up with. My first encounter with 10-pin bowling was as an adult when my brother was stationed in San Diego and we went bowling one night on the base.

Seems like this candlepin bowling would be much better on my bad back than a regular bowling ball.
