- Title: Balls Up
- IMDb: link
In a library of mediocre to awful Prime original movies, Balls Up asks them all to hold their beer. This aggressively unfunny comedy stars Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser as employees for a company that invents a condom that also covers a man’s balls (hence the film’s title) who cause an incident at the World Cup making them the target of an entire country of insane soccer fans. We also get the likes of Benjamin Bratt, Sacha Baron Cohen, Eva De Dominici, Daniela Melchior, and Molly Shannon for equally unamusing moments.
Holy fuck I wasn’t expecting much, but this lazy-ass lowbrow comedy that makes your average throwaway Adam Sandler flick look Oscar-worthy by comparison as it finds a way to slide under the lowest of bars. Borderline unwatchable, Balls Up is so bad you can’t even feel sorry for anyone involved; they knew what they were getting into. Although Rated-R, I’m pretty sure it breaks rules of Geneva Convention and might be more accurately classified as torture than comedy.
