BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
reechard Offensive. Bad. So terrible they landed 4 seasons of Eastbound and Down on HBO.Too much profanity. Girlfriend not hot enough. Not enough acting.It's not like its their first project (oh, wait, was it?). Why give these Hollywood types (oh wait, are they?) the time of day or more money to make another (oh wait...)It's not like the lead, McBride, is one of 2 or 3 writers on this show and the other (oh wait...)I've read some positive comments about how people have run into this sort of martial arts instructor in real life. So, their research on the character isn't terrible.All the very bad reviews here show why most can't see past the flaws, to what a brand-new team doing something very original is capable of. Thankfully bad reviews are a dime a dozen and sometimes aren't enough to kill other projects. Its 2 thousand fifteen, people. A bad indie comedy isn't a tragedy, and a first project can be treated with a bit more kindness.
seveleniumus If you're looking for dumb kind of humor like in "anchorman" or "zoolander" , or any of Adam Sandlers stuff you will be disappointed - this low budget flick is completely different - kinda a gulp of fresh air I must say - it's truthful, believable and even artsy to some degree. Most of jokes are concentrated on deep sarcasm and irony and if that's your cup of tee - I think you'll love it like I did. This movie shows you that you don't need to go over the top to be funny and you don't need to follow clichés to bring up some message. Of-course, it has some pretty dumb moments by itself, but they come just at the right time and don't ruin the atmosphere at all. I'm not saying that it's a masterpiece, but I think it is at least worth checking out. I would recommend it if you have some spare time to waste.
Kenn As a TaeKwonDo black belt I was hoping for a funnier flick... but this was just so over the top. Had the language not have been so bad it would have been tolerable. I don't know why they thought it was necessary to have so much foul language in the film when a curse word or two would have been enough to convey the scene. The plot was OK but it could have been so much better. I thought it could have been funny but it just wasn't. I was actually impressed though that the techniques and TKD were actually very good for a movie about TKD. Given the detail given to accuracy of forms and verbiage I hated to see punches to the head in the film.By the way: "Tae" means "foot" or "to strike with the feet". "Kwon" means "hand", or "to strike with the hand". "Do" means discipline, art, or way. Hence TaeKwonDo (foot-hand-way) means literally "the art of the feet and the hands" or "the art of kicking and punching". Different schools and/or styles may impose different variations on the formal definition however.
johnnysohigh Well it started for me with pineapple express the tropic thunder so i checked on Danny McBride and found this .Its great the humor is non stop .i loved it .The only thing i hope is he continues to do sweet as$ roles and doesn't turn in to Ferrel where all his movies are the same . Danny McBride should win something. SEE THIS MOVIE .There is really no one even in this move besides him. A few of the actors are fairly good.Chuck the truck is descent, and his 2 little buddies are good too. His wife is horrible the hole movie witch does hurt it . McBride has a movie coming out with will Ferrel called land of the lost he is is son.Its based off the 70s show and should be really good. Well thats it hope you see Foot first way its 9/10 and really good. SEE THIS MOVIE
