T from the US must be either employed by Rex Piano (awesome name, by the way) or on some heavy psychotics. This movie was terrible.
The first comment I have was that the plot was lagging, redundant, and portrayed every single character as severely delayed. I respect that the game itself didn't give much to work from. You hit elves with balls, big deal. However, the fact is, bowling is a boring game. And the fact that the elves were incapable of figuring out that Dingle was cheating raised red flags for me, since that was sort of his shtick. It took far too many unnecessary divergences from the actual plot. I believe that the author, Martin Olsen, was inspired by Shrek, but couldn't quite make it. The script combines fart jokes and sex jokes in a way that simultaneously makes it inappropriate for children and dull for adults. Never mind that the only two female characters are a heartless gold-digger and a schnitzel-obsessed housewife, since sexism is still alive and well.
Then again, I should have known better, since the advertising on the back of the box hinges around "We have guys from Rugrats and Aladdin!"
That movie sucked.
