    Feels like a Zucker Brothers movie. They throw so much at the wall, but a lot of it sticks, a lot of it doesn't, and it's dumb!... It's not "good," but I laughed a lot.

    The Gutter is an apt title to describe this trashy and stupid comedy about obnoxious people involved in bowling tournaments. The racist jokes are not funny at all and shouldn't be excused just because African American filmmakers wrote the jokes.
