While Walt’s love of big checks and in-your-face style of play dominates the pro tour, his detractors, including “Bowl Lives Matter” host Angelo Powers and fresh-out-of-retirement bowling-legend Linda “The Crusher” Curson, furiously attempt to snuff out Walt’s flame before it burns too bright.… Expand

As with most comedies that throw everything out there (and throw common sense out the window) to get laughs, some bits and pieces don’t land. But the Lesters thankfully cram in enough ghettofabulous gags to keep me continuously giggling. Read full review

The Gutter’s humor rarely misses. The Lester brothers deploy jokes with precision, taking aim at everything and everyone. Read full review

The Gutter is ultimately an enjoyable throwback to the broad-skewing sports comedies of the '90s. Read full review

In addition to ridiculous — think the Wayans brothers’ parody pictures, or “Napoleon Dynamite” (that movie’s director, Jared Hess, is an executive producer here) — the humor is almost uniformly broad. Read full review

The characters are never more than caricatures, the set-up is too conventional and the payoff doesn’t pay off at all. As for the jokes? Too many are awaiting that next rewrite or polish. Read full review

On a comedic level, The Gutter is too quiet to be slapstick but too random to actually have an intelligent sense of humor. Read full review
