| Original Score: C+ | Oct 18, 2008

It's almost funny, or theoretically funny. It's just not actually funny.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 18, 2008

From a bunch of minor Judd Apatow protégés, a dispiriting low-budget series of witless, misogynistic sketches masquerading as comedy.

| Sep 26, 2008

Shot on video, more vérité than mockumentary in style, Foot Fist shames bigger-budgeted fare with its gags-to-bucks ratio.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 26, 2008

The comedy is of the kind that makes you wince rather than laugh; the camerawork is defiantly ugly and the performances are unpolished.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 26, 2008

While most of the deadpan remarks hit the spot, the erratic sketch-like editing and overall slapdash structure give it an air of incompleteness. Fun in parts, slipshod in others.

| Original Score: 3/6 | Sep 26, 2008

A striking low-budget debut that manages to combine deadpan one-liners, pathos, physical comedy and fighting stars.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 26, 2008

A very cool comedy based on character -- real, and really self-deluded characters -- and not on shtick.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 12, 2008

Boasting outrageous laughs and a performance with real heart beneath its dim-bulb exterior, The Foot Fist Way is a ragged delight.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 12, 2008

Some bits fall flat well before they're driven into the ground, such as when Simmons tries to seduce a new female student. Others are painfully telegraphed so that when the payoff arrives, you've anticipated the blow and have become inured to it.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 6, 2008

Morning zoo radio DJs can rejoice: You'll be mining quotes from this movie for the next several decades.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 6, 2008

It's also pretty funny at times, even if its central joke wears thin.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 6, 2008

It plays exactly like a Will Ferrell comedy, but better, because Ferrell's not in it.

| Jun 6, 2008

My tolerance for the mockumentary form of comedy has curdled somewhat in the wake of the past decade's serious subgenre overkill.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 6, 2008

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 6, 2008

Just as the dish begins to sizzle, Foot Fist turns off the burners. This is fare meant to be served cool.

| Jun 5, 2008

I'm told people at Sundance a couple of years ago loved this movie. I don't know, maybe the altitude got to them.
