The Foot Fist Way

This is the movie Will Ferrell and his buddy fell in love with, and made sure to get it distributed in theatres, on DVD, and get its "Star" Danny McBride some notoriety.

I'd give a story synopsis, but quite frankly there isn't much of a friggen story to begin with. Theres a lard ass, obviously not good at it Tae Kwon Do teacher who berates his students and is "offensive" in doing so.

Literally the first 50 minutes of the movie was spent showing him do shitty demonstrations, berating students, and finding out his horrendously acted wife character gave her boss a handjob.

Not until over halfway through the movie to we get any type or actual push towards a legitimate storyline, when he goes and asks his idol to come to his tae kwon do studio to help with the testing for new belts. Didn't even know a test was coming up until the question was proposed.

What happens afterwards is beyond predictable. Actually, the majority of the movie is predictable and actually not very offensive at all. It is obvious what they are going for, with an outrageous character who is rude and vulgar, the problem is, it's not funny at all and could be far more offensive.

The entire look of the movie is shitty too. There is barely any music (although in the credits I swear they list 500 songs), and if you watch the even worse deleted scenes the picture quality actually looks better before they did whatever it was to make it look so shitty.

I found out that the budget for this movie was about 80,000 bucks. Hearing a movie that looks like this, has such shitty actors, and has caught a minute fan base because Will Ferrell told them it's funny is mind boggling. Don't even get me started on what the fuck I could do with 80 grand and my group of friends.

Now this guy has moved on to be the new flavor of the month in the Judd Apatow crew which is great for him. More power to him to be honest. I just don't get how this is actually a movie as mush as a bunch of little ideas put together. Nothing at all drives the story, and there is no actual goal to be accomplished. When all is said and done, it sucks.

The Foot Fist Way belongs in the clearance rack, ASAP
