Movie Description A washed-up, one-handed former professional bowler thinks he's found his ticket back into the sport (?) when he discovers an overgrown Amish bowling prodigy and enters him in a $1 million winner-take-all tournament. But first, they've got to beat the man who threw the ex-pro's career in the gutter. From the creators of "Dumb and Dumber."
