A by-the-numbers ensemble dramedy that hits every underdog and gay-fish- out-of-water cliche on the nose. May 25, 2006

Hormann provides a light enough touch to make the proceedings palatable, if not quite enjoyable. May 20, 2006

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. Apr 28, 2006 | Rating: 2/5

Though it does elicit some laughs, we've seen this story of over-achieving underdogs too many times. Apr 28, 2006 | Rating: 2/4

a by-the-book redemption-through-sports story with a few laughs, a few clichés, and those few annoying stereotypes that could have easily been omitted Oct 1, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

If there's a gay cliche who doesn't flounce through this feel-good German comedy, he must have been out of town when the casting call went out, but its fundamental good nature is tough to resist. Apr 28, 2006 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Having seen Wet Hot American Summer, it's impossible to take any film seriously that follows the formula 'lovable band of misfits undergoes wacky training montage to come back and beat the evil team.' Apr 24, 2006 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

This jubilant, exhilarating film works like a wonder tonic. It's as captivating as they come, by its very definition a big, fat, fantastic crowd pleaser. Oct 20, 2005 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

The sexuality of the protagonists is just another plot twist in this mildly funny sports comedy that never seems to accept its characters as people rather than cliches. Jul 9, 2005 | Full Review…

Guys and Balls is an inventory of such cliches, but at least they're trotted out with a modicum of proficiency. Apr 27, 2006

Adam Nayman
A cute and fun German language film that warms the heart but utterly misses any opportunity to develop (or even acknowledge!) the angst of exclusion, loneliness, uncertainty and injustice that motivate the primary aspects of this film. The sports action scenes are much better than most similar LGBT soccer films (e.g., Kickoff), but the team-building aspect of the story is not sufficiently developed. "Guys & Balls" is a pleasant film, but it is not very satisfying.
Super Reviewer
Harmless yet incredibly fun German comedy about a gay soccer team. Great for a fun dvd night with friends, and a cute romance is at the center, of course.
