Full Plot Details

Small town Tae Kwon Do instructor Fred Simmons relishes the power that comes from being the king of a small kingdom. A former champion, Mr. Simmons fancies himself one in the same as his hero, Chuck "The Truck" Wallace, a B-movie Martial Arts film star. Mr. Simmons openly boasts about his self-proclaimed status as "king of the demo" [Tae Kwon Do demonstration], even though he can't nail one to save his life. His only vulnerability lies in his adoration of his wife Suzie - a weakness that comes bubbling to the surface when Mr. Simmons discovers Suzie has cheated on him with her new boss. When Suzie leaves him, Mr. Simmons finds himself slipping into a crushing downward spiral. He struggles to keep "the power" by abusing anyone who challenges him. After losing students and making a fool out of himself, he finds allies in Julio Chavez, his nine-year-old apprentice, and Henry Harrison, one of his students with an "obvious confidence problem." When his bizarre best friend Mike McAllister comes to visit, the four make a pilgrimage to meet the greatest Martial Artist of all time, "The Truck," at a Tae Kwon Do convention. What starts as a crazy man's expedition to escape turns into a trip of discovery, as Mr. Simmons and his crew party with "The Truck" and Mr. Simmons convinces him to perform a demo at his Tae Kwon Do school during the upcoming belt-qualifying testing. Inspired with renewed strength, Fred returns from the convention clear-headed and at the top of his game, until he is shocked by an unexpected turn of events when Suzie returns home, and the "The Truck" flies in from Hollywood to appear at his Tae Kwon Do school. In the end, Mr. Simmons faces the greatest test of his power and finds the strength he outwardly projects within his own spirit.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Peter HartlaubThe result is a comedy that's low budget in all the right ways - so hilarious, testosterone-charged and yet cringe-inducing to watch that the result is almost exhausting.
New York Times - 9/10 by Nathan LeeAn itsy-bitsy, ultra-indie, super-silly comedy packing huge laughs and unexpected heart.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Steven ReaA very cool comedy based on character -- real, and really self-deluded characters -- and not on shtick.
Arizona Republic - 8/10 by Bill GoodykoontzBoasting outrageous laughs and a performance with real heart beneath its dim-bulb exterior, The Foot Fist Way is a ragged delight.
Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Roger MooreIf I had my way, every indie comedy would be done The Foot Fist Way.
TheMovieReport.com - 8/10 by Michael DequinaMilks the character and his foibles for all the laughs he's worth--which prove to be plenty.
LarsenOnFilm - 8/10 by Josh LarsenThere is a certain sense of self-loathing that goes into these sorts of character comedies, as if the actors are reveling in their own humiliation.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Gabe OppenheimFails to generate a real plot, and the awkward moments work better in a context of adolescence. Quirk isn't funny when accompanied by adultery and brutality -- though a couple of lines zing.
New York Post - 8/10 by Kyle SmithThe movie is so heavily weighted toward the Simmons character that no one else really gets to breathe. And though McBride's shtick is brilliant - he could get rich by playing variations on this character for the next few years, and probably will.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Mark OlsenIt's all saved by actor Danny McBride, who has created such a distinctive character in Simmons, at once engaging and repulsive, that it's hard not to keep watching even while cringing.
