Balls Up

  • 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.

Delinquent Schoolgirls

  • Title: Delinquent Schoolgirls
  • IMDb: link

After breaking out of an asylum for the criminally insane, three wacky inmates (Stephen Stucker, Bob Minor, and Michael Pataki) make their way to a strict all-girl boarding school (whose student body was cast mostly from porn stars and centerfolds of the mid 1970s leading to some pretty dreadful acting across the board), by way of pleasuring a sexually-frustrated farmer’s wife. Attempting to play up the humor by making the trio a bit more bumbling than dangerous, there’s still plenty of questionable activity here, much of it which can’t simply be laughed off.

A braindead action comedy, Playdate stars Kevin James as stay-at-home stepdad Kevin struggling to make a connection with the awkward Lucas (Benjamin Pajak). Enter alpha dude Jeff (Alan Ritchson) and his even more awkward kid CJ (Banks Pierce). In the course of afternoon, Kevin’s interactions with Jeff lead him to be hunted by armed mercenaries and mistaken for a child abductor along with Jeff, who actually is one (hardy har har, ain’t child kidnapping hilarious?).

Bride Hard

  • Title: Bride Hard
  • IMDb: link

Bride Hard is a dumb comedy stuck in the middle of a bad spy film. I’m not sure how it made it into theaters. Perhaps no streaming service would take it. Rebel Wilson stars as Sam, an unorthodox spy who manages to get in trouble both at work and with her friends when she attempts to merge a mission in Paris with her childhood best-friend’s bachelorette party. Put on leave, Sam attempts to mend fences with Besty (Anna Camp) showing up to her wedding despite being downgraded from maid of honor, in favor of Betsy’s annoying new sister-in-law (Anna Chlumsky), to last among the bridesmaids. However, when armed terrorists show up to rob the rich family Betsy is marrying into, Sam puts the skills she’s kept secret from her friend to use.
