Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
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.

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

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

This movie is deadly.

CGI-assisted ping pong and lame gags about dead pandas, simpering homos and 'Antiques Roadshow'.
