Key Points:
- "Balls Up," a raunchy comedy directed by Peter Farrelly, is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video and stars Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser as marketing executives caught in a scandal during the World Cup.
- The film was written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, known for their work on "Deadpool" and "Zombieland," and features a supporting cast including Sacha Baron Cohen, Benjamin Bratt, and Molly Shannon.
- Despite the star-studded team, "Balls Up" has received predominantly negative reviews, with critics describing it as tedious and uninspired, though some viewers find it amusing if approached with low expectations.
- The movie marks a return to comedy for Wahlberg and continues Farrelly's tradition of raunchy humor, following his recent Prime Video comedy "Ricky Stanicky."
- Overall, "Balls Up" may appeal to fans of broad, irreverent comedy but has not resonated well with critics.
