Try as he might, the roguishly handsome Cliff Starkey, just can't keep out of trouble. In his sleepy home town on the English coast, nothing much inspires him...apart from bowls. Cliff has always preferred to play by his own rules much to the disapproval of the regimented, elderly bowls fraternity. Before long, the bay boy of bowls is turning the sedate and very English pastime upside down with hysterical results. Written by Anonymous
Mel Smith (director) and Paul Kaye (star) - 2 great talents which should have made for an hilarious movie, but although it remains interesting, there is a feeling that it simply is not as funny as it should be. Despite a great supporting cast, they and Paul Kaye's antics are not enough to provide a truly satisfying experience.
