I finally got to watch Balls of Fury now that it hit DVD. I've read the reviews, and I know that they smacked this film around as being a really poor film. Now I don't like to follow the reviews because they are so often way off base and I found that seems to be the case here as well. Honestly when I went to watch this film I was ready to see a stupid movie. The team that they put together for this film made me intrigued because its not the usual band of people that they would throw together for this kind of comedy.
Christoper Walken was great as always. He adds his own personal style to every character that he plays and over all he usually makes the movie something special.
Dan Fogler caught my attention as an actor when I first saw him in the Type O Negative music video "I don't wanna be me anymore" and from that I knew he had a twisted sense of humor.
Patton Oswalt held a bit part, that was reminiscent of his King of Queens character Spence, in the respect that he plays an uber nerd.
I figured that the best of the funny parts would be shown in the previews, so I spent a little time looking for some more of the less emphasized jokes.
Over all the movie was exactly what I expected. Yes it was stupid, yes it had a number of lame jokes, but over all it wasn't as bad as some people say. True its no "Naked Gun" but if you want to see one with mindless humor then this one may be alright to see at least once.
