OK for a laugh - much better than expected

Rating: 6/10 (13 July 2008)

Balls of Fury is a fairly amusing movie. Certainly a lot better than expected and on a plane above the recent crop of so called spoof movies.
Christopher Walken is good enough to lift this film a bit but so much talent wasted - although I think as the principal villain  he could have been a little more over the top. Dan Fogler does OK too as does veteran actor James Hong and game nemesis, Thomas Lennon.
It is good to see that the writing, while not exactly brilliant, didn't rely on 98% smut to carry the 'humour' which seems to be the current trend in so called comedy movies of this type.
