Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This spoof of sports biopics is essentially an extended improvisational skit, with a troupe of comics riffing on a central joke (the elevation of paintball to a noble calling).

fresh:
While there's some dramatic interest in seeing how the story wraps, Blackballed pretty much wears out by midpoint.

rotten:
Corddry leads a game cast, but the film is rough around the edges and lacks the sophistication of, say, Christopher Guest's Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman.

rotten:
It's a mildly amusing feature that takes a few too many potshots at some very broad targets.
