Lady Ballers

DW promised a goofy, early 2000s comedy with a message and I believe, overall, in landed. I enjoyed it and laughed at the slapstick goofiness and appreciated the meaningful bits. I can see and understand where it fails a little too.

As a stand alone comedy, it's a popcorn movie and doesn't overstay it's welcome with it's pacing, comedy, and plot. The general movie goer (who isn't wildly liberal) would still have a good enough time if one likes movies such as the The Hot Chick, White Chicks, Scary Movie, Wayne's World, and other such on-the-nose, wacky, dumb movies that would have a difficult time being made today. It is true that a DW fan would find the movie more enjoyable due to the cameos - which were extra hysterical if you're "in the know."

If I could only change one thing as someone who loves the idea of this comedy shedding light on an important issue, I would have either removed the ending cameo entirely, or shifted it to after credits.

The general public would also enjoy it even more if they are aware of the western nations' culture war; if the viewer is unaware, the hopeful goal of the movie would be to make people aware of conservative concerns.

That said, the movie does not ride on the backs of DW and conservative cast members; it scratches the old comedy itch millennials have, makes gen x roll their eyes, and can show gen z what comedy used to be.

I lean conservative, I'd like to think too that I'm a realist. This movie, realistically does not deserve the high ratings.

The acting, on the whole, is just a titch above high school play level. The story was low IQ level. The jokes not fresh or funny. The pace veeeery slow.

Camera and cinematography was perhaps the best part of the movie.

I just did not find this entertaining.

The whole thing kinda reminds me of when a bunch of guys get together and laugh at farts or when one of their buddies accidently hurts themselves.

Moronic. Boring. Idiotic. Slow.

But then again I'm not a guy, or stuck in high school brain zone.

I'm a DW supporter, and I want them to produce great content. This is only OK.

Run hide fight was good, not great.

Terror on the prairie was ok, Shut in was rough What is a woman was great doc Convicting a murderer was great doc

First of all. 1h52m is way too long for a comedy, unless it is absolutely amazing. Should have been 80 minutes. We found ourselves struggling to get to the end. It's a comedy, get in there, make the jokes, get out on a high point, fill it with a story with a remotely plausible plot.

I like them using DW folks for some of the actors, but Boreing as a lead fell pretty short. Some parts of his acting was fine, most was not. Didn't seem natural. Probably keep him to cameos only going forward.

The plot was weak on the whole. The idea was great, but execution is tough I guess. Comedies are not supposed to be the most cerebral of genres, but if all you're standing on is the jokes, they better bring the heat.

The writing/dialogue was fine for the most part.

Jokes were okay without being excessively mean spirited.

They are a new studio, so I am hopeful they will improve.

Pretty decent movie. Good production value from the Daily Wire crew. Blazing Saddles or Friday it's not but a solid effort. Reminds me of Not Another Teen Movie or the Benchwarmers. Slapstick no name cast with a bunch of special appearances. Good to be able to laugh at the reality of the situation. This is exactly where competitive sports are heading with out oversight. And this movie addresses it in a funny manner. Humor is always going to offend someone but in the vein of Family Guy, Chappelle or South Park its distributed equally and not intended for harm. Maybe this can spark more healthy open dialogue.

"Lady Ballers" was a film I approached with some anticipation, given its intriguing premise. However, I found it to be disappointingly shallow and pedantic. The acting across the board was underwhelming, contributing to the film's overall lack of depth and engagement.

A critical drawback of the movie was its humor, or the lack thereof. The jokes felt forced and failed to elicit the intended laughter, detracting from the viewing experience. This issue could partly be attributed to the script, which seemed to need more refinement. The potential for a successful comedy was there, but it required a sharper and more experienced comedic writer to bring it to life.

The film appeared to serve more as a vehicle for promoting Jeremy Boreing's businesses than as a piece of entertainment. This focus undermined the story's authenticity and the characters' relatability.

Tyler Fischer's presence in the film was a lone bright spot. His natural comedic talent shone through, despite the limitations of his role. Fischer's performance gives me hope for his future projects, as he clearly has the potential to excel with better material.

In conclusion, "Lady Ballers" misses the mark in several key areas, making it a less than satisfying watch. The concept was promising but was let down by lackluster execution and a script in need of a few more rewrites. It's a 4 out of 10 for me, primarily saved from a lower score by Fischer's brief moments of comedic relief.
