Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Calum Hutton

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Danny McBride, Ben Best and Jody Hill wrote a "cult-ish" low-budget film called 'The Foot Fist Way'; about an obnoxious (but funny) Tae Kwon Do instructor named Fred Simmons, who has a marital crisis that affects his training of students. Endorsed by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay as one of the funniest recent comedies to come out, and they give this independent flick an audience, and I curiously checked it out as it was just released on DVD in Australia.Yes, it's funny! Not brilliant by any means! Danny McBride's acting style has continued to be apparent in other projects, and he has since been featured in films like 'Fanboys', 'Pineapple Express', 'Land of the Lost', 'Tropic Thunder' and he even had a serious bit in 'Up in the Air'. It all started in 'The Foot Fist Way' for him, and he was easily the king of this movie. Jody Hill, who went on to direct 'Observe and Report', also plays a somewhat interesting but limited character in Mike McAlister. Ben Best plays Chuck "the Truck" Wallace, and has quite a few funny scenes too. Some of the kids were great as well, and there is some impressively edited and directed action sequences and martial arts to boot. The fight scene between McBride and Best was hilarious and impressive at the same time- I would have never have thought McBride had some mad skills.If you are into low-budget comedies, or interested to see how Danny McBride got his career going, then this film is definitely worth checking out. Not brilliant but quite good! *** out of *****!

I must have missed something because unlike everyone else i thought this was the worst comedy i've seen in years. Danny Mc Bride maybe OK as a supporting character but a leading man he ain't. His brand of comedy always seems forced, he puts himself in awkward situations and then just spouts random rubbish for 30 to 60 secs and that's it. Every character he plays is rude and obnoxious with no redeeming features, That can also be said about everyone else in this film apart from the two kids. Also if your gonna do a film about martial arts it helps if the lead actor can actually do it. Im not talking about the breaking of the blocks, I'm talking about the one real fight scene where everything is filmed in close so as to compensate the actors lack of ability. If i could id give it a 0/10 i would, if i could be bothered i would sort out the spelling and grammar of this comment but i've wasted enough of my time on this rubbish. I can't believe watching this has made me so angry, probably because I bought this thinking it was gonna be good. So who really wins me moaning after the fact or the filmmakers who've just pocketed another 6 quid and will continue to make more dross like this thanks to me.

This is the type of movie that gets funnier each time you watch it, just like The Big Lebowski. It takes a while to get a feel for the level of realism (a bit more serious than Napoleon Dynamite), but when you're finally tuned in to the wavelength of the makers, you can almost instantly re-watch it (which will not take up too much time because it's refreshingly short). Once you know the characters are a bit silly, but not trying to generate cheap laughs or thrills (it must have been tempting to let Mr. Simmons totally snap, or have an all out brawl at the hotel room party, or let Mrs. Simmons show some more skin), the story becomes remarkably solid.
