subject: Cornhole: The Movie And The Sport [print this page] As of May 2010, Cornhole: The Movie has begun to hit theatres across the country, kicking off a national cornhole craze. Based on the real sport of "cornhole", also known as "beanie", "bean bag toss", "tailgate toss", and a dozen other names, this "mockumentary" movie follows the lives and struggles of four cornhole teams as they vie for the Bronze Sack, the first place in Cincinnati's National Cornhole Championship.
In a humorous and lighthearted style, this film features unusual athletes of all sorts who are determined to overcome adversity and their own families' resistance to beat out the rest and achieve the top spot in cornhole. Along the way, they'll encounter the surprisingly serious and not so surprisingly funny obstacles that make the game, and the movie, both silly and heart-warming.
Whether you've never played cornhole or you're a die-hard fan, the movie breaks new ground by offering up a sport that is relatively unknown, but growing in popularity. The cast of characters seem less like pro athletes than random misfits thrown together by a genuine love of their sport a love that's shared by the movie's creators and comes across in every scene.
Who knows? The movie may even inspire you to toss a bean bag or two yourself. If so, there's no better place to find cornhole sets, supplies, and accessories than AJJ Cornhole.
