Lady Ballers

Look, I'm not gonna come in and give it a 10/10. It's no Baseketball or Dodgeball, but it's got some genuinely funny jokes. More than a few times I had genuine hardy laughs. There's a few times it gets sincere and those parts are great. The ending is a little weak, but there's not a lot they could do with it and still is wrapped up pretty well. My least favorite part is a shameless ad thrown in which got a smile, but moreover a deep rolling of my eyes. They hit the audience with a lot of very true statistics, (just because you don't like what you hear doesn't make it propaganda). For their first attempt at a comedy this was pretty good, and makes me look forward to more from the DW. In a world where Hollywood is too afraid to make a decent comedy for fear of offending even one person this was refreshing. Like a glass of water in the desert. Maybe not an ice cold glass of water, but still very refreshing,

I'm a DW supporter, and I want them to produce great content. This is only OK.

Run hide fight was good, not great.

Terror on the prairie was ok, Shut in was rough What is a woman was great doc Convicting a murderer was great doc

First of all. 1h52m is way too long for a comedy, unless it is absolutely amazing. Should have been 80 minutes. We found ourselves struggling to get to the end. It's a comedy, get in there, make the jokes, get out on a high point, fill it with a story with a remotely plausible plot.

I like them using DW folks for some of the actors, but Boreing as a lead fell pretty short. Some parts of his acting was fine, most was not. Didn't seem natural. Probably keep him to cameos only going forward.

The plot was weak on the whole. The idea was great, but execution is tough I guess. Comedies are not supposed to be the most cerebral of genres, but if all you're standing on is the jokes, they better bring the heat.

The writing/dialogue was fine for the most part.

Jokes were okay without being excessively mean spirited.

They are a new studio, so I am hopeful they will improve.

You pretty much know exactly what you are going to get when you turn on this movie. It delivers exactly what it promises - crass humor pointing out and mocking the absurdity of biological men participating in women's sports. If you agree with the message of the movie, you will likely get some laughs out it. If you don't agree with the message, you will definitely hate it. It is glaringly obvious in its message, but no moreso than what you get from Hollywood on the other side of the fence. While this is certainly not gonna win any writing, acting, or directing awards, it is nice to see an attempt to provide an alternative to the left-leaning material that is currently being served up by Hollywood. Hopefully, enough people watch this movie that The Daily Wire and other conservative outlets will continue to provide an alternative to Hollywood's content and will slowly increase both the quality and quantity of content.

"Lady Ballers" was a film I approached with some anticipation, given its intriguing premise. However, I found it to be disappointingly shallow and pedantic. The acting across the board was underwhelming, contributing to the film's overall lack of depth and engagement.

A critical drawback of the movie was its humor, or the lack thereof. The jokes felt forced and failed to elicit the intended laughter, detracting from the viewing experience. This issue could partly be attributed to the script, which seemed to need more refinement. The potential for a successful comedy was there, but it required a sharper and more experienced comedic writer to bring it to life.

The film appeared to serve more as a vehicle for promoting Jeremy Boreing's businesses than as a piece of entertainment. This focus undermined the story's authenticity and the characters' relatability.

Tyler Fischer's presence in the film was a lone bright spot. His natural comedic talent shone through, despite the limitations of his role. Fischer's performance gives me hope for his future projects, as he clearly has the potential to excel with better material.

In conclusion, "Lady Ballers" misses the mark in several key areas, making it a less than satisfying watch. The concept was promising but was let down by lackluster execution and a script in need of a few more rewrites. It's a 4 out of 10 for me, primarily saved from a lower score by Fischer's brief moments of comedic relief.

DW promised a goofy, early 2000s comedy with a message and I believe, overall, in landed. I enjoyed it and laughed at the slapstick goofiness and appreciated the meaningful bits. I can see and understand where it fails a little too.

As a stand alone comedy, it's a popcorn movie and doesn't overstay it's welcome with it's pacing, comedy, and plot. The general movie goer (who isn't wildly liberal) would still have a good enough time if one likes movies such as the The Hot Chick, White Chicks, Scary Movie, Wayne's World, and other such on-the-nose, wacky, dumb movies that would have a difficult time being made today. It is true that a DW fan would find the movie more enjoyable due to the cameos - which were extra hysterical if you're "in the know."

If I could only change one thing as someone who loves the idea of this comedy shedding light on an important issue, I would have either removed the ending cameo entirely, or shifted it to after credits.

The general public would also enjoy it even more if they are aware of the western nations' culture war; if the viewer is unaware, the hopeful goal of the movie would be to make people aware of conservative concerns.

That said, the movie does not ride on the backs of DW and conservative cast members; it scratches the old comedy itch millennials have, makes gen x roll their eyes, and can show gen z what comedy used to be.
