After years of self-exile, a disgraced paintball champion (Rob Corddry) returns to assemble a makeshift team.

Marjorie Baumgarten

Austin Chronicle

Jiggly camerawork meant to mimic that of the unseen documentarians, and mismatched lighting, perfunctory paintball action, and overlong dialogue riffs that make the film look more like a really lengthy skit than a fully finished movie.

Rated: 2.5/5

Boston Globe

... succeeds as a modest tribute to the kind of aging boys club that idles for hours in somebody's parents' rumpus room, its members tossing around big-man talk but trapped in emotional adolescence.

Rated: 2.5/4

It's a mildly amusing feature that takes a few too many potshots at some very broad targets.

Rated: 2/4

Cinematical

There isn't the same labored yet quotable wit ... that you'll find in some of the scripted satires, but part of the fun of improvisation is its spontaneous lack of polish.

not enough to make Blackballed worth watching for more than a couple of giggles.

With so much comic talent all in one place, Blackballed becomes a dopey but lovable gigglefest.

I love paintball but I only like this movie. When Bobby Dukes wiped it broke my heart.

There isn't a story arc for Bobby but there are jokes a plenty. I gained a new word: D-bag means Dude-bag.

As a former paintball hobbyist I found this mocku-mentry pretty awesome. Even if your not in to paintball you'll dig it. Nothing to serious or deep, just a light comedy with some good laughs that will let you forgive any plot flaws. Rob Corddry shows some real depth here too for a change which I appreciated.

It's a mediocre movie with many funny scenes and lines. Rob Cordrry (spelling) is hilarious.

This movie really falls into a category that it might not have had to be in, but I really didn't see how it could have gotten out of it. This is a comedy that is largely not funny. And sort of not exciting either until the tournament kicks in, and then it moves almost entirely away from comedy. I think this movie tried to follow the Christopher Guest style, but couldn't pull it off. And it brings in a lot more characters than it can juggle. It has a few good scenes and lines, but not enough. You can pass on this one. But just fine to watch to pass time if you have interest in...ahhhh, just pass.
