Rating: D
BALLS UP is a frustratingly dull experience that collapses under its own absurd premise. Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser try their best, but the hit-or-miss humor and terrible visual effects leave them completely stranded. As a native Portuguese speaker, the cringeworthy Brazilian accents and butchered pronunciations were especially painful to sit through. Peter Farrelly aims for silly, raunchy fun, but delivers a generic, episodic misstep that completely misses the mark.
