Balls Of Fury

POUR some sugar on me! If you've ever wanted to see Christopher Walken singing Def Leppard, then this is the ping-pong martial arts rock movie for you!

Yes, you've guessed it - this is a real 90-minute hotchpotch, designed to tick various boxes without being capable of filling any of them.

Dan Fogler plays Randy Daytona, a former ping-pong champion hired by the FBI to smoke out Walken's criminal mastermind Feng during his annual tournament.

Billed as 'a huge comedy with tiny balls', some of the effects are impressive, but that's more than can be said for a script which almost sinks to the depths of that other similar release The Cleaner.

It's directed and co-written by Robert Ben Garant, clearly not content with having already inflicted Reno 911!: Miami upon us in April

The movie opens on Boxing Day. The website is at www.ballsoffury.com.
