Fantastic!

Absolutely amazing

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Sit down in front of a mirror. Look at what you see. Take a few minutes. When the time feels right, ask yourself this: "am I a F*CKING IDIOT?" If you answered no and rated Balls of Fury less than eight of of ten stars on IMDb you have my permission to stop reading and close your laptop on your face repeatedly. Did that feel good? No? Now you know exactly how I feel when I see a mixed or negative review for Balls of Fury. "It's too mediocre!" "It's only intermittently funny!" "It has the shelf life of open Zoodles!"These are fun criticisms reserved for smaller children and those who sign legal documents with Crayola Window Writers. Only those who are of sound mind and have at least enough mental dexterity to succeed at the exercise "pour the juice in the cup" are capable of giving this movie an unwavering assessment. This is art. You may not like it, but this is how film works. Everyone commits to their role and makes themselves a cog in the machine that is Balls of Fury, from Walken's Feng to most of the other Asians. You have difficulty pointing supporting roles above the main cast due to the strength and impetus of each performer. Of course, this goes unnoticed. Was Kiralee Hayashi's spellbinding portrayal of Hot Asian Servant Girl worthy of a Best Actress winner? You bet your yogurt-swaddling suck pipe it went to Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth! Blasphemy.Have you ever laughed in your life? Not like you have when saw Steve Little as Crazed German Fan. Jokes with payoff? Civilian. Let the grown-ups talk. Can you think of one humorous Double Entendre based around ping pong balls? Too late, this movie came up with ten before the first eight minutes of run-time. Unreal. Is that Christopher Walken as most of an Asian? Outlandish. Name me one movie this decade, one show, one late-night personality that can come up with this. Awfully quiet now, aren't you?You can have your Godfathers, your Doctor Strangeloves, your Citizen Kanes. You have nothing. Balls of Fury is not a movie for you. A diamond disguised as a Friday-night burner to deter the weak-minded. If you cannot appreciate this film, perhaps film does not appreciate you.

Balls of Fury (2007): Dir: Robert Ben Garant / Cast: Dan Fogler, Christopher Walken, George Lopez, Maggie Q, James Hong: One joke comedy about smaller factors conquering the masses. Dan Fogler plays a washed out ping-pong player recruited by FBI to go undercover at a ping-pong tournament in order to bring down his father's murderer. Funny setup becomes repetitious and perhaps too carefree in the third act. Director Robert Ben Garant throws in every martial arts joke he can but his biggest aid is the mock production that add both look and satire appeal. Fogler loses his passion only to find it again. He aims to avenge his father's death but becomes embarked upon many amusing training sessions that often place him in pain. To say that he wins the tournament and avenges his father is obvious. What works is Christopher Walken who is terrific as the underground tyrant out to create fatal tournaments for pleasure not realizing that his past is catching up to him. George Lopez as an FBI agent is a great idea but the role is pretty routine. Maggie Q plays the daughter of Fogler's blind trainer, which is to say that her existence is purely as a sexual tease with predictable results. James Hong provides much amusement as Fogler's trainer of sort, whose methods provide some of the best laughs. Well made satire of martial arts films using a harmless sport to more devastating results. Score: 6 ½ / 10

Now I do enjoy this film to a certain extent but due to a lot of things it is just distinctly average and really fails to push through to the levels of other comedies like Anchorman or Dodgeball. Now the guy that they got to play Randy Daytona in this film I have not heard of now or ever but he is functional in this film and has some good funny moments but it does leave you with the wish that somebody of Jack Black or Will Ferrell's calibre had been chosen to play the role. The side characters are really good with Christopher Walken totally stealing his scenes and having the best and most outrageous lines in the film, also his wardrobe is awesome in this film. George Lopez is a good addition with some good lines even though his character is a bit simple. The trainer and love interest are good as well even though you don't buy the romance at all she still is cool and the trainer has some funny lines. The story is just lazy it is so basic it is unreal and it doesn't have any real interesting dynamics and it is definitely not one of the positives of the film which can take away from the film. The script is like what you would expect solid though some of the lines aren't really that good and it doesn't hit like it should. The style is a mixed bag as the costumes for some of the characters are pretty cool but it is so stereotypical and a bit insulting with its interpretation that doesn't really add to the film. Overall Balls of Fury is an average film that will give a couple of laughs.

Starring virtually unknown Dan Foglar (who seems to have Jack Black in his head while acting), this is a cheesy comedy but at least the producers know it. I went in to this expecting it to be reliant on toilet humor, completely stupid & not funny like "Blades of Glory". It was a tiny bit better than I expected and I found myself laughing here and there. The movie really benefited by Christoper Walken who's touch turns everything to gold. I really wanted to see Dan's character beat Robert Garrant's character but one of the weakest points in the plot is not affording us the win over his old nemesis. Balls of Fury is a light-hearted slap stick comedy good to see when you don't feel like thinking.
