Alley Cats Strike

Alley Cats Strike, a film that mixes hip swing music with bowling, concerns the athletic rivalry between two highschools and a group of retro outcasts who love to bowl.

East and West Appleton have an intense sports rivalry. They've gone head to head against each other in just about every sport imaginable until East Appleton proposes bowling. Of course, none of the jocks can bowl. "Only losers bowl," claims the West Appleton mayor.

The West Appleton athletic council confronts the outcasts about bowling for the school. The kids don't really care about the school or winning but since no one else can bowl as good as them they do step up to the plate. As they film winds down, the group who were once the brunt of jokes, gain the respect of the school and the "real" jocks.

The film, although simple and predictable, is very good. The young cast including Schmid, Ri'chard and Cuoco, are excellent. The director, Rod Daniel's seems to have been influenced by Scorsese. At times throughout the film, the action pauses while the narrator(Scmid) explains to the audience what is really happening. I loved that!

I didn't expect much from the film going in but I was surprised. Check it out!

This movie was really good. I especially liked the fact that there was so much team effort and spirit in the movie. That gives people a good idea as to how one should play on a team with people they don't know very well. It was pretty funny too!

This is a really great story about a towns teen sport jock who gets involuntarily teamed up with local bowling square pegs.

A long running tradition between two rival towns is about to be retired and it is up to this odd bunch to take home the prize. With no time to spare Todd McLemore, town jock and son of the mayor, must learn how to bowl. But he has a thing or two to teach the group of overly confident teen bowlers.

Alex Thompson, leader of the brat, learns that change can be a good thing. Between Todd and Alex they come up with an idea to save the unpopular bowling alley. A great story of team building and friendship. Definitely a must see!

While in the early 2000s and late 90s there were many great bowling movies such as The Big Lebowski and kingpin Alley cat strike takes the Cake it's probably one of the best movies ever made about bowling I give it 10 out of 10 bowling pins down a strike.
