Balls of Fury Reviews
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011
A horrendously written and acted movie which even Walken can't save.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 28, 2007
This comedy raises the odd laugh, largely from an absurd appearance by Christopher Walken as a sinister martial-arts kingpin villain.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 28, 2007
CGI-assisted ping pong and lame gags about dead pandas, simpering homos and 'Antiques Roadshow'.
| Original Score: 1/6 | Dec 28, 2007
Bad acting, writing and jokes... Apart from a few funny gags that save this from one-star ignominy.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 26, 2007
It's good natured enough, but laughs are thin on the ground.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 25, 2007
This movie is deadly.

It's never an encouraging sign when a comedy filled with talented pros produces only a single distinct laugh.
| Original Score: C- | Aug 30, 2007
The real trouble is that it's supposed to be an outrageous comedy, but in fact it's fairly tame and not all that funny.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 30, 2007
This is pretty thin soup, but the players are spirited and the jokes generally offbeat.
| Aug 30, 2007
Just barely goofy enough to sustain its 90-minute running time.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 30, 2007
While Balls of Fury is slightly more sophisticated in its comic strategies, 'slightly' remains the operative word.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 30, 2007
Ultimately, it's a hollow enterprise, all ping and no pong. It doesn't bounce; it splats.

The movie's big lug of a lead, Dan Fogler...could be dismissed as a poor man's Jack Black.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 29, 2007
...there are plenty of funny bits, but the movie runs out of ideas long before its end
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 29, 2007
Christopher Walken has joined the legion of stand-up comics, student actors and bar-stool mimics trolling for laughs by doing bad Christopher Walken impressions.

You know the feeling you get from the Apatow comedies that the people who made them are really trying to do their best? Balls of Fury has the opposite feeling, as if everything was just "good enough".
Full Review | Aug 29, 2007
Balls of Fury is a stupid movie that's not quite stupid enough, or at least not quite funny enough.
| Original Score: C | Aug 29, 2007
Don't expect me to explain the rules and purposes of the tournament, if it has any. I was preoccupied with observing the sheer absurdity of everything on the screen...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 29, 2007
