Yesterday I and Carina were invited over to Emma and Dennis for some food and trip-advise for their upcoming tour to Ibiza. Later that night we decided to rent a movie. The decision fell upon Balls Out, a comedy with Sean W. Scott (a.k.a ‘Stifler’ from American Pie).

Gary has a hard time as a youngster as he’s born into a tennis-crazed family, and his father favours his brother as the new tennis star – not Gary, as he sees him as a hopeless piece of shit.

So he runs away from home, takes a detour to Mexico, and then ends up on a high school where he starts to work as a janitor. Soon enough the tennis comes back in his life, as he starts to coach the school team after the real tennis coach collapses. Then you have the regular bit – struggling as underdogs to take home the tournament and honor the dead tennis coach. You know.

I did enjoy the movie. While it was a bit slow in the beginning, it got better and better as I watched. There are a lot of subtle jokes á la “Dude, Where’s My Car?” along with some straight slapstick comedy. Of course you got your originals there as well; the kickass new tennis coach, the midget wife, the nerdy teacher assistant, the retarded foreigner who can’t speak which joins the team (the BEST character in the movie, no doubt!), the upcoming tennis pro, the “evil” opposing team, and so on. Leonor Varela, playing the volleyball coach and spanish teacher is quite hot too. The director did his job and knew he had to bring at least one good-looking babe into the picture.

They also have a stripper in one part. Unfortunately she’s not as tight as I had hoped her to be. You get to see her tits though. And the whole scene is quite funny.

I almost died laughing in the end when I saw what could have been the funniest owl in history of mankind. If you liked Dude, Where’s My Car, and if you liked Napoleon Dynamite – you will absolutely with no doubt like this one too. A no-brainer giving you some joy. Please do go and see it.
