In this raunchy, over-the-top comedy, marketing executives Brad (Mark Wahlberg) and Elijah (Paul Walter Hauser) go "balls out" and pitch a bold full‑coverage condom sponsorship with the World Cup. After their drunken celebration in Brazil sparks a global scandal, they must outrun furious fans, criminals, and power-hungry officials to salvage their careers and make it home alive.

As far as titles go, Balls Up is about right. This is a disaster.

There are slapstick foibles, sight gags about rubbers, and many, many vulgar jokes — some good for a laugh, though I doubt the film's Oscar prospects.

Balls Up is juvenile entertainment, handled by professionals.

A listlessly stupid movie made by a guy who used to be much smarter about making stupid movies.

Perfect Gene Siskel Rule movie ... the movie of the greenlight meeting would be more interesting than the movie. The waste of talent is breathless in this ... Sacha Baron Cohen? All the "comedy' is stupidly high concept, not in a good way.

I actually laughed out loud a few times. I think the butter was spread a tad thinly in the writing department but I don’t think it’s as bad as what people are saying.

So bad, it’s good. Or at least has funny moments.. Well over the top. Especially Saha Baron Cohen as a crazed Brazilian drug lord who somehow sounds like Borat.

Man we must be scrapping the bottom of the barrel for movies. Im beyond disappointed the Mark Walberg put his name on this. It feels like he was trying to be Adam Sandler and missed the mark.
