    Stupendously silly but viciously funny.

    The good news is that Christopher Walken, resplendent in purple silk, isn't the film's sole redeeming element. The bad news is that even his arch-villain can't save Balls of Fury from losing bounce as the story proceeds.

    Balls of Fury makes "Dodgeball" look like high art. It'll be tough to crack a smile, let alone laugh, during this uninspired and sophomoric satire of sports movies.

    Ok, so the premise going in is amusing enough. Predictable...well duh, what part of satire don't you understand? Anyways, had a few funny moments, but overall not fully realized. Probably the lamest part was the German villain...boring character, bad performance (I think I saw when I watched through the credits that he was played by one of the writers, so that explained a lot right there). Christopher Walken's performance is just painful to watch...not inspired, seems he is too self aware these days and just doing his "Christoper Walken schtick". If you are bored, at least it is short...but hardly a classic… Expand

    My mom and I decided to try to watch this movie, and the keyword here is tried. We didn't even get halfway through because the jokes simply failed and I barely even chuckled through the part we did see. Most of the lines I even thought of were said so it was extremely predictable. Quite easily one of the worst movies I've ever tried to see.… Expand
