About what you would expect for this film

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2014)

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.
