Balls Up
The film
Two marketing executives 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.
This one mostly misses the mark. People found the story weak and unoriginal, while the humor landed as aggressively mediocre, not the laugh riot it's aiming for. Mark Wahlberg's Brad and Paul Walter Hauser's Elijah are the marketing execs at the center of the drunken scandal, but their performances didn't connect, and director Peter Farrelly's style gets called out as tired. The only thing that gets a somewhat decent score is the acting overall, thanks to a few mentions for Benjamin Bratt's official Santos and Sacha Baron Cohen's Pavio Curto, but it's not enough to save a messy, forgettable comedy.
