Already under pressure for playing badly, his homophobic team-members surprise him in a compromising position and throw him off the team. With the help of his sister and a cranky former soccer star, he tries to form an all-gay soccer team to challenge his old team in a grudge match. Ecki's journey in self-realization is filled with wonderful surprises and interesting characters in this delightful romantic comedy from Germany. -- © Regent Releasing [More]

Reviews for Guys and Balls
A by-the-numbers ensemble dramedy that hits every underdog and gay-fish- out-of-water cliche on the nose.
Hormann provides a light enough touch to make the proceedings palatable, if not quite enjoyable.
It sounds like gay porn, but it's actually a delightful romantic comedy from Germany.
With commendable literalness, the makers of the German soccer comedy Guys and Balls have settled on a title as cheerfully unsubtle as every one of the film's jokes.
Though it does elicit some laughs, we've seen this story of over-achieving underdogs too many times.
