Consensus: Tasteless, yet harmless, Balls of Fury nevertheless fails to generate enough laughs despite its lowbrow intentions.

Box Office: $32,844,290
Synopsis: It's ping-pong played to the death in this balls-out comedy: Dan Fogler stars as pong child prodigy and Def Leppard-devotee Randy Daytona, whose defeat at the hands of a hissy East German (Thomas Lennon) during the 1988 Olympics forced him... [More]

Comedians like Will Ferrell, Jack Black and Ben Stiller can get away with lesser material because just looking at them can elicit laughs. Dan Fogler is not in that category.

Top Critic This comedy raises the odd laugh, largely from an absurd appearance by Christopher Walken as a sinister martial-arts kingpin villain.

Top Critic It’s a hodge-podge of Enter The Dragon and Blades Of Glory, yet infinitely worse than either. In short, a film about bouncing balls with the bounce of an anvil.
12/28/07
Cut a ping-pong ball in half, draw a large black dot in the centre of each then carefully insert around your eye-sockets- you'll raise more laughs than this film manages.
12/28/07
Enter The Dragon meets Shaolin Soccer meets Dodgeball – just with infinitely smaller balls. A camp turn from Christopher Walken astounds but it’ll be funnier if you wait for the DVD and lubricate it with a six-pack. Or three.
12/28/07
CGI-assisted ping pong and lame gags about dead pandas, simpering homos and ‘Antiques Roadshow’.
12/28/07
Balls of Fury isn't quite as funny as it thinks it is, but there are some good gags and it's worth seeing for Christopher Walken's performance.
12/27/07
Bad acting, writing and jokes... Apart from a few funny gags that save this from one-star ignominy.
12/26/07
Top Critic In perhaps the movie's sole bit of irony, it completely lacks what it boasts so furiously--balls.
12/19/07
There are just enough interesting characters, along with dozens of fresh ideas relating to ping-pong, to keep the audience along for the ride.
