Balls of Fury reminds of a mix between Enter the Dragon and Mortal Kombat along with some Dodgeball style humor. This is definitely going to be an over the top silly sports comedy. Usually those aren’t my favorite comedies but the mix of cast looks pretty decent and the trailer (see below) definitely had me laughing. I’m glad they got Thomas Lennon (The State and Reno 911) on board as I always enjoy his comedy style. You’ve also got David Koechner (Anchorman) and Diedrich Bader (Office Space) who are usually pretty good in the supporting roles. I’m most pleased about Christopher Walken though as I think he’s hilarious because of how serious he comes across (more cowbell anyone?). This will be out next week ahead of the Labor Day weekend, so just hold tight considering the week movie options we’ll have over the weekend.

Balls of Fury - Exclusive Clips:
Thanks to Michelle for sending over these clips from the movie. I can’t embed them so you’ll have to jump over to the hosting site to check them out. The first one pits Fogler against Patton Oswalt “The Hammer” and things don’t turn out so well. The second clip has Fogler jumping the gun a little when it comes to the lucky cricket. Both clips are worth checking out.
