Today's mid-week treat? Balls of Fury, starring one mightily bewigged Christopher Walken. My records show that this film was originally slated to open here on Jan. 26. Usually an eight-month delay doesn't bode well for a film. So you can imagine my surprise when it brought in a respectable C+, which means it actually fared better than The Nanny Diaries (C), Mr. Bean's Holiday (C) , The Eye of the Dolphin (D) , September Dawn (D) and War (F). [Insert shrug here] Shows what I know. I think that film owes a LOT to the Great Mr. Walken, though. But I'm just speculating. Have you seen it? What did you think? |

Haven't seen it, but I imagine the C+ is accurate, since the film's creators Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon are usually wildly inconsistent. They created the hilarious Comedy Central series 'Reno 911!' but also wrote the scripts for utter garbage like 'Taxi' and 'The Pacifier.' I guarantee the laughs in this will be mostly hit or miss.
