Balls Up
Directed by Peter Farrelly
Two marketing executives go "balls out" and pitch a bold full‑coverage condom sponsorship with the World Cup.

Den nye Balls Up er en skændsel imod ikke bare film som medie generelt, men også hele menneskeheden. Den skal slettes før flere kommer permanent til skade ligesom mig.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALS!!" ⚽😂 Even with the beard trim, this "Balls Up" movie should be interesting as a result of Mark Wahlberg & co finally rising to the level of the legendary "Voice of Australian Football" himself.

neutral · AI labelView post →Critics are destroying BALLS UP but I think it’s the funniest Farrelly movie in a long while (although Bobby’s CHAMPIONS from 2022 is probably the best overall). Unhinged R-rated shenanigans directed by one of the greats of the genre. I started laughing at the Ted Danson ad and never really stopped!
positive · AI labelView post →Just watched the movie Balls Up! Shit was hilarious
positive · AI labelView post →It's funny how much better and funnier Pizza Movie is as a Farrelly Brothers-style dumb comedy than Balls Up is, which is a Peter Farrelly movie. It's absurd how far Peter Farrelly has fallen in terms of creative talent.

unlabelledView post →Check out my full review @ https://www.manuelsbento.com/balls-up-2026-a-frustratingly-dull-misstep-in-raunchy-comedy/ Rating: D BALLS UP is a frustratingly dull experience that collapses under its own absurd premise. Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser try their best, but the hit-or-miss humor and terrible visual effects leave them completely stranded. As a native Portuguese speaker, the cringeworthy Brazilian accents and butchered pronunciations were especially painful to sit through. Peter…

I've had an amazing run so far: Melania, Psycho Killer, Animal Farm, Mercy, Balls Up, Return to Silent Hill, In the Blink of an Eye, Scary Movie, The Strangers: Chapter 3, The Breadwinner, Tyler Perry's Joe's College Road Trip, Ladies First... it's been real.
unlabelledView post →Balls Up does not feel like a film. It feels like a bunch of smaller moments from a film that someone hoped would go viral on Tiktok. It did get me to revisit Gotye.
unlabelledView post →Just watched a clip from Balls Up (apparently the movie is horrible) where Mark Wahlburg and Paul Walter Hauser do Karaoke of Gotye together and man, its terrible in that they clearly alter both guys octave and pitch to try to make them sound "good" but it just kills any charm or comedy.
