Leave your thoughts about Balls Out.
| AwardsCircuit.comClayton DavisA pure and modern example of slapstick comedy and where it can go, when placed in the right hands. |
| Austin ChronicleSteve DavisThe jokes fly in the college intramural football comedy Balls Out like a fourth-down Hail Mary thrown deep toward the end zone: unpredictable, risky, and just a little desperate. But when they hit their marks – and make no mistake, the number of completed passes here is high – they score big laughs in the most unconventionally funny, weirdly absurd movie of the year. |
| AV ClubJesse HassengerThough it's far less fratty than its bare-bones marketing suggests, it has a retrograde campus-comedy vibe, right down to the Orion Pictures logo that resurfaces in front of the movie. |
| HeyUGuysJon LyusA satisfying homage to the great sports films in cinematic history. |
| Slant MagazineNick PriggeThe film reveals itself as a sports movie actually attuned to the knowledge that victory in an inconsequential game bears no meaning. |
| The DissolveCharles BramescoThe film’s greatest virtue is Disney’s ability to poke fun at sports-flick tropes while simultaneously embracing them. No cliché goes untackled; Disney and his first-stringers leave it all on the field. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterBesides a clever, blithely ribald script by Bradley Jackson, the movie benefits from a potent “Saturday Night Live”-empowered cast. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThere have been a few of these movies released during the last few decades, but few have managed to transcend pushover ideas with the degree of wit, lively dumb guy humor, and encouraging timing found in "Balls Out." |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreSure, it’s basically one long testicles joke. But set your expectations low enough and you’ll find a laugh, here and there. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonThe humor is still very broad and lowbrow, but that can be forgiven. Too bad it has other, severe limitations. |
