The Foot Fist Way movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: It's almost funny, or theoretically funny. It's just not actually funny. Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: At times, it verges on being overbearing, too much to watch -- and yet you can't turn your eyes away for fear of missing whatever excruciatingly awkward moment might come next. Read more
Sara Cardace, New York Magazine/Vulture: It may not look like much, but the low-budget tae kwon do comedy The Foot Fist Way is one of the funniest DIY flicks in years, thanks to the droll wit of writer-director Jody Hill and star Danny McBride. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: It plays exactly like a Will Ferrell comedy, but better, because Ferrell's not in it. Read more
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times: Some bits fall flat well before they're driven into the ground, such as when Simmons tries to seduce a new female student. Others are painfully telegraphed so that when the payoff arrives, you've anticipated the blow and have become inured to it. Read more
Keith Phipps, AV Club: Trouble is, the gags just keep finding new ways to make McBride's strip-mall sensei seem pathetic, and the few scattered laughs never justify the cruelty. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Boasting outrageous laughs and a performance with real heart beneath its dim-bulb exterior, The Foot Fist Way is a ragged delight. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Read more
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: The saga of small-town strip mall taekwondo instructor Fred Simmons, The Foot Fist Way is the sort of nimble oddball discovery that one wishes would come along more often. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: It's also pretty funny at times, even if its central joke wears thin. Read more
Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly: The Foot Fist Way is not short on broad physical humor. But Simmons is a brilliantly detailed grotesque capable of withstanding comparison to his most obvious inspiration, Ricky Gervais' Office boss David Brent. Read more
Rafer Guzman, Newsday: The film stops when the jokes do, making for an anti-climactic finale. But if The Foot Fist Way is more about promise than delivery, its creators are off to an impressive start. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: There are enough droll moments to spark cult status, and McBride's commitment is impressive. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: The Foot Fist Way amounts to a feature-length audition to win Will Ferrell's attention. And guess what? It worked. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: If I had my way, every indie comedy would be done The Foot Fist Way. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: A very cool comedy based on character -- real, and really self-deluded characters -- and not on shtick. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I cannot recommend this movie, but I can describe it, and then it's up to you...What it does, it does well, even the point of its disgusting final scene. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: Morning zoo radio DJs can rejoice: You'll be mining quotes from this movie for the next several decades. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Once we relax into the fact that not much is going to happen, we can enjoy the film's little moments of nutso inspiration. Read more
Derek Adams, Time Out: While most of the deadpan remarks hit the spot, the erratic sketch-like editing and overall slapdash structure give it an air of incompleteness. Fun in parts, slipshod in others. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: A hit at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, The Foot Fist Way is a refreshingly silly and clever portrait of a strikingly daft and clueless man. Read more
Robert Wilonsky, Village Voice: This is irritainment, something you snicker at while covering your eyes, praying that this guy never gets loose in the real world, when, in fact, he's your next-door neighbor. Or you. Read more
Gabe Oppenheim, Washington Post: Just as the dish begins to sizzle, Foot Fist turns off the burners. This is fare meant to be served cool. Read more
