      Critics Consensus

      Tasteless, yet harmless, Balls of Fury nevertheless fails to generate enough laughs despite its lowbrow intentions.

      Bidon d Not funny, Dan Fogler painfully not good, sorry it's a phobe Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Ben N I thought it was quite interesting if you really like movies where they have weird twist at the end the beginning of it was kind of slow. I almost had to force myself to watch it the beginning of this movie other than that it was actually fine for the rest of it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Tee M Underrated. If it was a big name in the lead role instead of Dan Fogler this would be a sleeper quotable classic. Thats no disrespect to Dan Fogler. He nailed it. So did the movie. Expect low brow humour and this delivers plenty of laughs. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Jace E I don't say this lightly, but Balls of Fury might be the dumbest movie that I have ever seen. It's not the worst movie, that spot is reserved for Marmaduke, but it sure is close. There are hardly any redeemable qualities to this film. The concept is ill-conceived, the characters are stereotypes and the plot is formulaic while also being just unfunny. To top it all off, the final "duel" is ridiculously dumb. Would this movie be better with Jack Black instead of Dan Fogler? Probably, but not by much. Note: How in the world are we supposed to believe Maggie Q in this movie? Best Character: Gary Best Quote: "Ping Pong... is not the macarena." - Master Wong Best Scene: The Opening Match? I'm reaching but I can't think of any scene that I actually enjoyed. Best Piece of Score: "History In a Paddle" Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Philip A I watched this on DVD. I was not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's kind of a silly ping pong orientated satire of a kung fu movie, with some 007 style blow dart executions added to motivate the contestants and a def Leppard soundtrack. As strange as it all seems, I found it novel and entertaining. I liked the cast, and how they managed to present it all so sincerely which adds to the fun. If you keep an open mind and just go with it, it could be worth a look. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review Ata B Nice greek movie!Furry's are the best.When ı see a furry.My dick is like a rock and nikocado avocado.

      Ben Kenigsberg Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Drew Toal Time Out Rated: 3/6 Jan 18, 2008 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard A horrendously written and acted movie which even Walken can't save. Rated: 1/5 Dec 28, 2007 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse This is an extremely silly movie, and I don't have no trouble with silly as long as it's funny, but that's where things go south. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Does low-brow comedy really get much better? Well, yeah, fortunately it does. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 2, 2020 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News We are stuck with a below average film that Walken almost single-handedly carries to mediocrity -- a feat that is appreciated, but not enough to forgive Balls of Fury for its many faults.
