The review "Movie Review: 'Balls of Fury' serves up cheerful looniness" makes me want to go and see Balls of Fury in a way but the author is sort of mocking the film as you read on. I feel the author might have some mixed feelings about the movie. It really makes me think about my experience watching the movie and what made me laugh and why that was. Was i only laughing because i heard someone Else's laugh and was laughing at them? Did i actually find the movie funny? Did i just feel like acting like a 13 year old boy laughing at everything that is immaturely funny, or did i just wanna let go and go with the flow? All these questions were running through my mind right after i had read this review and i realized that it was a combination of both. Even though the movie was seriously ridiculous at the time i found it hilarious.
For some reason this quote really caught my eye, it made me think about the movie in perspective, and it sparked my millions of questions. Although I'm not quite sure this review would make people want to jump out of their chairs and run to see this movie, i don't think it really gives or takes anything away from the movie, its a strait forward opinion of the movie, in which i share of the movie.
The cheerfully dumb "Balls of Fury" thumbs its nose at sports movies,
underground fighting tournament flicks, and squares in the audience. It's
schlocky and tasteless but also good-natured and harmless, and the people who
come out to see it will get just what they want: 90 minutes of freewheeling,
switch-off-your-brain laughs.

"Balls of Fury" revels in dumb gags, aggressively cheesy production design
and over-the-top performances. Fogler, with the manic energy of a young John
Belushi, makes his role a showcase for physical comedy, and the 78-year-old Hong
is a treasure.
I think that this movie is entertaining partly because it is super cheesy and way to unrealistic, and sometimes you just need to see that just to bring you back down to earth. Sometimes we just get to into all of the crazy special effects that are way over the top, making it seem like you are right in the action. This movie has special effects but, they are for a humorous part to make things seem really fake instead of realistic. In conclusion i loved Balls of Fury in all of its goofiness that are so stupid you have to laugh out loud.

you made some great points i thought. I liked the fact that sometimes you need someone else there laughing in order to make a scene actually funny haha keep the good work going
Saral: Very thoughtful post -- asking yourself why you laugh is a great question, even if you came to the conclusion that in this case, it wasn't anything too intellectual. And you're right -- watching a comedy in a theater is a very different experience than watching it at home -- the shared experience and make the movie funnier than it really is.
