This is a really funny satire of lawn bowls, mostly highlighting offenses in etiquette, combined with "perfect" shots against excellent shots, and a little spoof at archaic attitudes and traditional bowls. Only the most deeply absorbed bowler would be offended by this video and I think all others would enjoy it and recommend passing it around for the enjoyment of club members.

THIS IS AN BRITISH MOVIE. Bowls, Lawn Bowling, Bocce or Petanque are NOT by any means identical. EXCEPT in the fact that there are some folks out there playing the game who feel pretty hoity-toity ( HOT STUFF ) because they play and are above the hoi-polloi (Regular Jamokes, eh, folks)because they DO NOT play. Huh? Anyway, this movie is a typical Poor Guy from the Other Side of the Tracks BEATS Rich, Elite Guy at what the Rich Guy is Good at & gets the Girl, blah, blah, blah! And of course it happens to be about rolling / tossing (heh... see the movie) a Ball. NOW in Petanque you have Steel Balls, In Lawn Bowling you have a misshapened balls and Bocce just round Balls. Lots of people enjoy the game World Wide and as many different kinds of people play this game as there are different names world wide for this game. SO... IF you addicted trying to get your Ball as close to the Pallino / Jack / Cochon as you possibly can and enjoy knocking the s**t out of someone elses balls, then you might enjoy "National Lampoon's Black Ball".Read full review
This movie was not good. I thought Vince Vaughn would have had a bigger part.

Im a huge National Lampoon's fan. The movie was O.K, but I expected more. The plot was just like any other sports comedy but the humer was weak!!! The over all movie was a let down. I bought it on ebay and thats where I'll get rid of it.
