Great chop-saki spoof and Walken should just continue to do his "Walken persona" just like Diniro constantly does his "Diniro persona". The lead is funny and the story is "Kickboxer-like" only with ping-pong. Funny premise and good use of ping-pong CGI. Not everything in the movie is funny and some if just stupid - but if you can set your expectations properly and have a sense of humor it will be mostly funny and at worst case tolerable.
A good rental, but I would have hated to pay even matinee prices for it. -
MCT:May 3, 2008Balls of Fury came across to me as the average 'comedy' these days, delivering very few laughs and a pretty crappy dialogue. I admit at times it was fun to watch, but to me it seemed a lot like a spoof rather than actually an original movie.
The idea of basing a movie about ping pong is a clever one though, and I think it'd be safe to say that it's the first real ping pong movie. I'm just disappointed that it didn't turn out as good as it could have been; even though I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, I feel as though this could have been turned into something far better. The plot was unexplainable.. it kept the sequence right, but I was left wondering how the heck it even started out and how it got to a certain point in the movie. As I have said, the dialogue was just absurd and quite meaningless. I noticed a lot of incidences where a certain line was supposed to be hilarious, but ended up being something that I'd be puzzled by and wondering why it could be considered entertaining. It would have been interesting seeing it in the cinema to see if anyone thought parts were stupid.. or it was just me.
Dan Fogler was mildly entertaining, but compared to others.. you could say that he gave a pretty good performance as the lead character. Christopher Walken wasn't too bad, I guess he was what I'd expect from him in a flick like this. Maggie Q was neither exceptional or completely unbearable... she was just sort of... there. Her lines meant almost nothing coming out of her mouth, so most of the time she was ignorable. I'm still trying to work out if that's such a bad thing.
Overall Balls of Fury wasn't nearly as entertaining as the good comedy movies out there, but considering the stuff that people are coming out with these days... it could be thought of as average. -

I was told that this film was kick-arse funny. I disagree. There are one or two genuinely inspired moments where i caught myself laughing, but I found that some things that were meant to be funny actually fell flat - maybe the directors tried too hard. The best part of this movie was having Christopher Walken and James Hong in it because they made me able to watch it until the end

A bad movie... but I nonetheless enjoyed it. Since these sports spoofs have been popular lately, I found this one not much different than the rest. Although I really enjoyed how much it used those really, really cheesy, predictable gags. One of the funniest moments, though, is when you realize Christopher Walken is in this movie...

I knew this was going to be a bad film that I didn't want to see, but I was forced into watching it. I have to tell you I was shocked that the beginning of the film was good and made you laugh. I thought It would keep going that way. I was wrong.. Up to the point where you get to Christopher Walken's character it all goes DOWN HILL. They should have not had him in the film because he just didn't fit at all well with the other cast. So if you watch this the first half is good and the middle and last parts of the movie are beyond boring. Dan Fogler who plays the main character boy and George Lopez are the best thing about this movie to watch.. oh yea and that girl from "Reno 911" on Comedy Central whom I adore has a small role too. 1 1/2 star
