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.

You can make funny movies about jerks. This is not one of those movies

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.

Dumbest movie I've seen in a long time. They should apologize to all those who have decided to quit drinking and stay sober. Mark should hang his head in shame.

it has some good laughs. Wouldn't say it is bad, it is entertaining and it has an allstar cast.

I'm as starved for a comedy as the next person, but whatever this was, it wasn't a comedy...every movie out of Hollywood is worse than the last. Unbelievably bad.

Gawd. If I don't see a decent film soon, I'm gonna take up watching paint dry.

Watched on Prime because it was free. Glad I didn't have to pay for this. One of those films that make you wonder who gave that script a green light. More stupid than funny!
