If you think the Jeremy’s Razors commercial, which currently has 23 million views on YouTube, is funny, then you’ll love Lady Ballers. It is very much in keeping with Boreing’s brand of humor, subversive slapstick that verges on the absurd. I found myself laughing at every slap, every stunt, and occasionally, some lines.
Thanks for the review. Looks like it’s worth the watch.
Having grown up with Caddyshack, my brothers and I could drop a line from the film in conversation, then we would drop into character and finish the dialogue from the scene, and maybe a few more.
That category of humor is wonderful and in short supply these days for many reasons beyond the woke mob. Looking forward to watching this
Yes, there are some funny moments. It isn't very well made, however, and the acting is very uneven. But if you worry about that, you've entirely missed the point. This is about our collective ability to express ourselves and (especially) to express unpopular truths. I really enjoyed seeing all of the personalities from The Daily Wire playing the various roles. The little girl was precious (and probably one of the better actors!). Again, not great but important. Also great fun. I do hope that Sasha is right and that they continue to evolve in terms of overall sophistication.
I watched it last night. Its Good, parts are Laugh Out Loud Funny. Like all good satire ts makes its Point Very Well. That Point being Men/Males have no business Competing against Women/Females in Sports.
I do have to question If those who gave negative reviews Actually Watched the Movie? I ask because Lady Ballers is NOT a freebie. The Daily Wire is in business To Make Money. (Damn Capitalists!)
But then I am an Ultra Extreme Neo-Nazi MAGA Racist Fascist, who never puts the seat down or use a turn signal...so what do I know.
I just finished the movie and, as usual, Sasha has nailed it (I’m such a fanboy). My only real nitpick is that the pacing seemed too extended, with several periods devoid of comedy or interest. They probably could have cut 20 or 30 minutes without sacrificing much. But, as Sasha noted, this is the early stages of a developing voice and kudos to the Daily Wire for daring to ridicule many of the prevailing left wing fantasies, many of which we common people may not speak their name.
It was good. It was totally surreal watching stuff onscreen for an hour or so that has been banned for years! I commend DW for the “balls” to do that alone. I relished in picturing the deranged mind captured viewers wetting their pants with each condemned comment. So 🤩 fun!
I will be watching it soon, great way to give the finger to the arrogant pricks who think they own this country.
I was thinking earlier about the best movies of the year after the flop with Napoleon, and I honestly think that The Sound of Freedom might be the best movie of the year. Killers of the Flower Moon and Oppenheimer were both good but not that good. I liked Blackberry quite a bit, might rank it second. Not that I saw every movie or close to it, but The Sound of Freedom moved me in a way that no other did. I'm not saying that due to politics, I just think it's true. Hopefully Ferrari is good later this month.
Thank you for the review. I very much enjoyed the movie and as usual, totally agree with your take on it! As I have said many times, you write and say exactly what I think but more succulently!
Saw it last night, and generally agree with your review. The only thing I found objectionable was the heavy-handed treatment of the "lesson" toward the end. DW should have stuck to showing it instead of saying it. That's one of the things that makes Hollywood productions so unwatchable; they hit you over the head with the social justice angle in every film or episode. But as you say, this is probably part of finding their voice. And if it was a one-off, that's fine.

I watched "Nefarious" Great Movie. But they did the same thing at the end.
Thanks for sharing that razor commercial, I hadn't seen it before and enjoyed it; it feels necessary. I also saw the film trailer and was amused by it but could see that it might not be up to the standards of some of the other films you mentioned. And this made me think about why art is suffering in today's age.
The conclusion I keep arriving at is that, given how society and culture are reflections of the values of those who own and rule the world (which, incidentally, makes claims by the rulers that 'the deplorables' are responsible for society's ills infinitely laughable, inexcusable, and distorted), art suffers at the expense of advertising; that the resources and creativity that are funneled into advertising outweigh and diminish those funneled into art.
One could argue that a measure of a healty society is one in which there is a balance, a harmony, with art and commerce; a society that enshrines advertising to the detriment of art is one that is in decline. Of course, there can't be balance and harmony with the 'enemy other' that the culture war creates, by design.
Caddyshack is more relevant to today's world than you can imagine, so thanks for bringing it up. I think there is no better way to understand the Trump phenomenon than through Rodney Dangerfield's character in Caddyshack as the outsider/disrupter and all the status quo reactions to him in that film (and it's a more fitting and accurate characterization of Trump than Orange Hitler ever could dream of being). I'd like to see you flesh that idea out, if interested.

So you got That Going For You....Which Is Nice.
“Oh, this your wife, huh? A lovely lady. Hey baby, you must've been something before electricity."

You know they didn't watch the movie.
Progressive Humor.
Knock Knock
Who's There?
That's Racist!
I suspect you are correct!

Your review offended me! Ha ha.
Can’t wait! Where can I watch it?
Dailywire.com but you have to be a member.
Great review! Can't wait to see it! Thank you Sasha!
Anxiously awaiting the Poor Things review! You get to see some hairy business.

It was laugh-out-loud funny and worth the watch. They have a gift for writing and directing physical comedy.

I agree, your review was a good read. Thank you for the links to snippets, they were enjoyable- check out the prices on the Caddyshack menu.
