Hard Breakers

Finally, we get some insight into the female perspective. I honestly have not seen a comedy film quite like this before. Hard Breakers follows two woman as they explore their sexuality and disappointing relationships with men. Instead of being used and abused, these vixens go so far as to knock some poor, unsuspecting blokes over the head to take the upper hand. I thought the film was very fun and entertaining. The two girls are quite an eye full strutting around in their string bikinis in order to lure "their prey" into their trap.

Good acting by the entire cast and great camera work. One of the funniest film I have seen in a long time. Cheers!

Take a moment to relax and free your mind. That's it. Easy does it. Think only peaceful thoughts.

Now start the brain a-working. Think of the very very very worst movie you can. One you saw a long time ago but still wish you could get that time back today. In fact, you think about that movie several times a day because it was so bad.

Well whatever that movie is, it doesn't come close to how bad this one is. Honestly. There is nothing to recommend. We should be able to give this movie negative stars. It's THAT bad.

It's an assembly of C-list actors who can't get work reading lines interspersed with very hot chicks in micro bikinis.

And who'd think hot chicks in micro bikinis could be boring? It's horrible.

First let me say that I thought the basic premise was a pretty good one. I really liked the concept of turning the typical cheesy sex comedy on its head and making the women the 'aggressors'. I also thought Sophie Monk was actually quite good. So good in fact I wish she was the lead in the film. Unfortunately I just didn't find Cameron Richardson particularly compelling as the lead. The movie would have been better served had they switched roles. The cameo roles (Tia Carrera and Tom Arnold in particular, Kattan was a bit of a mess but not sure that was his fault as his character seemed to be poorly written)were decent as well. However this movie just never got off the ground due to either terrible editing, a poor script, or that they just seemed to run out of time (or money?) to put this thing together in a really coherent manner. Possibly it was all three. The father/daughter issues plot line, which motivated much of the characters behavior, never really came together until the very end and by then it was too late. Also the racial stereotypes were a little annoying as well. Having said all that is certainly better than the very low score it has on here. It does have moments and some of the performances were pretty good, particularly Sophie Monk. And I have to give credit to the writer(s) and director for at least trying something different.

I usually don't write reviews but after watching this movie, I had to mention how bad this movie was and so registered into IMDb and am now writing this review. This movie makes me feel like I've just lost 2 hours of my life and trust me, I've seen bad movies. Anyways, there is no storyline, the scenes change haphazardly and the script is incoherent. The only tolerable part of this movie are the eye-candies in the form of the 2 lead actresses but you are bound to get bored after a while looking at their bodies, and awful acting. Don't want to be too harsh on them but they should have seriously gotten their brains checked before accepting this movie. And what is a talented actor like Tom Arnold doing in this movie? Seriously, was he threatened to act in this movie or what?

I wouldn't recommend this movie even if this is the last movie on Earth. Go play ball instead.

Funnily enough, this is actually called Ball Breakers in my country of the UK, and not Hard Breakers. I stumbled across the DVD for this film in a shop, and decided to take a look at it and buy it. While I am regretting my decision slightly, it didn't cost much and it's nice to tick off an unknown movie off my list. It was a bit better than expected, though it's the kind of film you only watch once and then forget about.

I recognised the likes of Chris Kattan, Tom Arnold, Tia Carrere in this film, all playing their roles in a fairly wooden and emotionless way. I wasn't wowed at all by the acting here, though I have seen worse. Sophie Monk who I recently saw do a decent job in the spoof film 'Date Movie' is here, and I was a bit disappointed with her performance here as I enjoyed her role in Date Movie. The story could have been made quite interesting but just wasn't, and it feels like it has wasted potential. It doesn't realise its ambitions.

It's kind of like a gender inverse film Apatow flick, with similar plot lines and humour styles. I did laugh a few times here and there, but I can't say I was particularly entertained and it's the kind of film you don't really go back to.

Could have been better, but it's not dreadful. 4/10.
