August 8, 2009Jody Hill offers up this independent comedy that follows a man trying to run a Tae Kwon Do school while dealing with his cheating wife.

May 27, 2009Like Napoleon Dynamite, this is another MTV produced indie comedy that just falls flat. The film is all one joke and the joke is only mildly funny the first time you here it.
Danny McBride plays a karate instructor who takes out the failings of his private life out on his studen...( read more) -
April 5, 2009Overall, a funny if almost a bit too mean spirited low budget romp. I really liked Jody Hill's direction. Danny McBride is always hilarious and it's nice to see him get a leading role.

Once we relax into the fact that not much is going to happen, we can enjoy the film's little moments of nutso inspiration. full review

I cannot recommend this movie, but I can describe it, and then it's up to you...What it does, it does well, even the point of its disgusting final scene. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
A hit at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, The Foot Fist Way is a refreshingly silly and clever portrait of a strikingly daft and clueless man. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
The Foot Fist Way amounts to a feature-length audition to win Will Ferrell's attention. And guess what? It worked. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
This hilarious, high-kicking nonsense cost two cents and looks it -- hell, it was shot in 19 days, but you'll laugh helplessly anyway. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Stays doggedly true to its idiosyncratic off-kilter vibe. full review
