Balls of Fury
“Balls of Fury” is intended for viewers what is horrid and vulgar, but if they still go to the theaters, then I do not want to finish well also about the people. Everything is done brutally. No single fight flies in women they come with spit and epaulettes of generals. This is sufficient, even if Sasha Banks has failed at the last moment as a bodybuilder. Movie will not make it this time like a drunken butch friend with the decision, the audience hysterically don’t fill the light.
In short, Randy Daytona (Dan Fogler), a former ping pong star, is negatively affected by being defeated by his competitor Karl Wolfschtagg (Thomas Lennon) during the Olympics and plans to take revenge on his father who is involved with a more powerful figure by name of Feng (Christopher Walken). Fast forward to the present, Randy is approached by an FBI agent (George Lopez) who is on a mission to gain intelligence on Feng and wants Randy to get involved in one of Feng’s tournaments as a player.
Things don’t look good for Randy as he is out of work and is overweight so as part of his preparation to be eligible as a player he and Viktor Wong (James Hong) and Wong’s niece Maggie (Maggie Q) train together. Mediocre training montage, typical stereotype sketch comedy undermining training sessions, pathetic excuse for including romance between Randy and Maggie Randy and Feng’s tournament drags into the last quarter of the film and even by that time Randy and Wong have not made it to the tournament yet.
And THIS is what annoys me the most about the film. The only moments that are interesting happen when there is an ongoing ping-pong competition, however most of the time they are either short (first to 3 points?), take place in obtrusively or cut out entirely so a movie about a ping pong match barely has any more than about five minutes of passive outlook. It would be one thing if all the other sub plots were worth thinking about but they are not.
What went so wrong with this film? Co-writers Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant are the same people behind some mad comedy sources such as “The State” or “Reno 911.” It has Christopher Walken, too, who plays a mad ping-pong fan. Other actors, Patton Oswalt and Diedrich Bader, appear in short silent roles. It is about the dark world of professional ping-pong. In fact everything mentioned above makes this concept so borderline stupid that it should be awarded for being humorous. But it is not, it is just garbage. Dull garbage.
