Critic Reviews

Andy Spletzer

The reason Balls of Fury works as well as it does, aside from its low aspirations, is because of the charm of Fogler in the lead. Like Jack Black, but not as sarcastic, he brings a winning enthusiasm to the role. Read full review

Mark Feeney

The movie flaunts its ridiculousness and offers a relentless string of jokes about blindness, groin-bashing, and bodily odors. Read full review

Sheri Linden

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. Read full review

Premiere Marilyn Smith

Ultimately even the strongest characters deliver mixed results. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

Add Balls Of Fury to the list of movies that not even Walken's moon-man delivery and oddball comic energy can save. Read full review

Claudia Puig

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. Read full review

Mark Bell

Steer clear of Balls of Fury for as long as you draw breath. Period. Read full review

Balls of Fury at first looked really stupid and immature. Instead, It's extremely absolutely hilarious with excellent comedy that was well written. For those who wish to watch Balls of Fury, don't forget to bring a tissue-just in case if you start laughing.

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. My mom and I decided to try to watch this movie, and the keyword here is tried.

Ridiculously intricate plot details and overly dramatized action sequences spoil what would be an otherwise decent comedy flick. Jack Black would have been better in the role of Randy Daytona.

So unfunny and poorly made it actually made me angry for the rest of the day. Something no other film has done to me before. The lead character has no business being in a studio film or any film at all and I hope this is the last the American public ever sees of him.
