A spoof on spy movies that generates few laughs but scores high for being bizarre.

[Is it] good? Heavens, no. But it has its seedy charms.

While it's sporadically amusing, Balls of Fury scores fewer points for humor than it could have.

The real trouble is that it's supposed to be an outrageous comedy, but in fact it's fairly tame and not all that funny.

This movie is deadly.

This is pretty thin soup, but the players are spirited and the jokes generally offbeat.

It's never an encouraging sign when a comedy filled with talented pros produces only a single distinct laugh.

A horrendously written and acted movie which even Walken can't save.
December 28, 2007
CGI-assisted ping pong and lame gags about dead pandas, simpering homos and 'Antiques Roadshow'.

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.
