January 2020 Dollar Tree Movie Challenge - Blu-ray Forum

tdl797 · 08-23-2020, 06:49 PM

Upon learning that Dollar Tree had 2 different Balls Out movies, it made me want to watch them. Balls Out: Gary the Tennis Coach stars Seann William Scott. I was hoping it would be a gem that no one had heard of. I didn't enjoy much about it. First off, the movie is on a 2 blu-ray set of 4 Comedy films. The blu-ray just brings up a menu with 2 arrows pointing to this film or Fired Up. It looks like there are only 3 chapter stops before the movie just goes back to the menu. Since it seems to have come out around 2008/2009, I think it was influenced some by Napoleon Dynamite, but they went the raunchy R route and had a lot of Farrelly Brothers disgusting type humor/gags. A lot of the line readings fall completely flat and jokes don't work. If you want to see SWS's butt, this is the movie for you. Randy Quaid is not in the movie for long, and it is apparently his last acting role. The synopsis on the back of the blu tells you what happens to his character. They have a really foul mouthed little girl character and there's one bit where something happens to her while playing with dogs offscreen. I'm not sure I want to know what they were going for, if I am interpreting it right. No Subtitles to clarify any hard to hear dialog.

2/10?

Surely the other Balls Out has to better. It has a few SNL cast members.
