Though it's far less fratty than its bare-bones marketing suggests, it has a retrograde campus-comedy vibe, right down to the Orion Pictures logo that resurfaces in front of the movie.

New York Times

[A] modest, nimble and, um, winning comedy from Andrew Disney, which acknowledges sports-movie conventions even as it exploits them.

There's some chuckleworthy meta-commentary about the absurdity of sports movies, but Balls Out feels more like a long sketch than a feature.

Rated: C+

It's about time the no-stakes world of intramural collegiate flag football got the movie raucous movie comedy it deserves.

We Got This Covered

In a world where spoof films have been getting an increasingly bad name, Balls Out is surprisingly one of the smarter sports movie commentaries in the last few years.

Rated: 7/10

There have been a few of these movies released during the last few decades, but few have managed to transcend pushover ideas with the degree of wit, lively dumb guy humor, and encouraging timing found in "Balls Out."

Very funny and made me remember playing (or trying to play) intramural sports in college. Well done and worth seeing.

The movie starts with a quote from the song Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down..." Well, this movie definitely was knocked down, but did not get up again. I'm an SNL fan, and this is like one of those sketches that is unfunny, but you are fine with it because it is only three minutes. However, this movie is an hour and 40 minutes, making it a longer sketch with almost no laughs. The spoof genre has been really weak for awhile, and this is no exception. 0.5/5

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

destined to be a cult indie film, hilarious and really original. Fun and just full of well rounded characters, the director will have a bright future.
