Reviews for The Foot Fist Way
This discomfiting low-budget comedy vérité can be painfully funny, but the emphasis is on the painful. This goes Way below the belt a little too long and too often.
05/29/08
Trouble is, the gags just keep finding new ways to make McBride's strip-mall sensei seem pathetic, and the few scattered laughs never justify the cruelty.
05/29/08
Director Jody Hill...maintains his odd tone throughout and caps off the news that Fred's been cuckholded with one of the funniest camera moves since the Coen Brothers floated over a drunk in "Blood Simple."
05/29/08
Martial arts "comedy" is crude, mean and unfunny.
05/29/08
Like an entire movie of deleted scenes on a DVD you got for free at the grocery store.
05/29/08
The film stops when the jokes do, making for an anti-climactic finale. But if The Foot Fist Way is more about promise than delivery, its creators are off to an impressive start.
05/29/08
This hilarious, high-kicking nonsense cost two cents and looks it -- hell, it was shot in 19 days, but you'll laugh helplessly anyway.
05/29/08
Top CriticEven though The Foot Fist Way has some moments of inspired lunacy, its paper-thin premise could barely sustain a half-hour short, let alone an 85-minute feature.
05/29/08
Those with a yen for foolish grandeur are in for a treat. But don’t be deluded into thinking there’s more in store.
05/29/08
Breaking boards and concrete blocks is fun to watch, but that and a few good laughs, do not a viable comedy product make
05/28/08
At times, it verges on being overbearing, too much to watch -- and yet you can't turn your eyes away for fear of missing whatever excruciatingly awkward moment might come next.
05/28/08
Top CriticThe Foot Fist Way signifies the most original comic vision since Hot Fuzz.
05/28/08
This is irritainment, something you snicker at while covering your eyes, praying that this guy never gets loose in the real world, when, in fact, he's your next-door neighbor. Or you.
05/27/08
Top CriticIt may not look like much, but the low-budget tae kwon do comedy The Foot Fist Way is one of the funniest DIY flicks in years, thanks to the droll wit of writer-director Jody Hill and star Danny McBride.
05/27/08
Stays doggedly true to its idiosyncratic off-kilter vibe.
05/25/08
A film crying out to be discovered by midnight movie mavens.
05/22/08
Top CriticThis movie's weakness is disgusting to me.
05/13/08
For a low budget, independent comedy made in 19 days, "The Foot Fist Way" is a clever and surprisingly satisfying effort from first-time director and co-writer Jody Hill.
05/10/08
The film's funniest moment caught me at a loss of breath, and at its best has other moments providing extended laughs, if not of the breathtaking variety.
