        One of those movies that makes you wonder why the hell anyone would make something like this. It wasn't funny at all, and I wasted an hour and a half of my life.

        Balls of Fury is a ludicrously stupid and moronic comedy that's hilariously fun and entertaining. The FBI recruits washed up ping-pong champion Randy Daytona to join an underground ping-pong tournament so that they can capture a master criminal. The film stars Dan Fogler, Maggie Q, and Christopher Walken, who all give solid performances; especially Maggie Q, who has a lot of charisma. It's the outlandishness and over-the-top style of humor that makes the film work, but some of the jokes just come off as stale and cliche. A lot of Balls of Fury is just the normal trite screwball comedy stuff, but enough of it works to deliver laughs a plenty.
