Search - The Foot Fist Way on DVD

Out of Control!!

"Every now and then my wife and I like to grab the most random video at Blockbuster we can find and we hit the jackpot with this one! Danny McBride plays a Tae Kwon Do instructor going through somewhat of a midlife crisis. Sounds simple, but it was three times funnier than Napoleon Dynamite and all the no name actors were awesome! You will laugh literally every one to two minutes. I have systematically made everyone of my friends watch this."

Kenny Powers Lite

"You can easily see where Danny McBride started creating the Kenny Powers character. Fred Simmons is a little cleaner, little more subdued version of Powers. I had several laughs at this movie however unfortunately I would probably have enjoyed it more if I had seen it before East Bound and Down. I viewed it with a few friends and although we all loved it, the ones who hadn't seen East Bound seemed to like it more. One thing is clear; this group: McBride, Ben Best & Jody Hill are gonna be big stars."

Nowhere near as good as Eastbound

"Saw this with great hope after watching Eastbound and Down, but no cigar. Not even close. Too rude and mean in ways that EAD wisely sidesteps. McBride's character gets too nasty at points and becomes far too unlikeable for us to care about him after a while.

Plus there are long stretches without any real laughs, just major discomfort and squirmy moments. Those are nice as spice, but not as the main course.

And McBride's huge debt to Ricky Gervais' David Brent is all too obvious (as is the director's). The (original and by far the best) Office did that, and much better. FFW gets a little too mean and unfunny at various times as well.

I wouldn't recommend this. Just watch Eastbound again!"
