Lady Ballers (2023)
1/10
Moronic attempt at a sports comedy by people who nothing about sports or comedy.
25 February 2024
This movie felt like a fever dream. It felt like what Matt Walsh sees in his nightmares. From the very beginning, it's obvious that the writer knows absolutely nothing about sports. Which is extremely frustrating because there are a LOT of sports personalities in this. Any one of them could have pulled the director aside and said, "Hey, that's not how this sport works." For example, in the beginning, we see a basketball and the whole team is just five guys. Yes, that's how many are on the court for each team at a given time, but there than five guys on the team. Every time the main character has to coach, he doesn't actually do any coaching. I think the writer honestly thinks that the coach is a glorified cheerleader. At one point, we see the main characters hurling balls at the faces of their opponents. Again, they are playing BASKETBALL! That's a foul!

There also aren't any jokes. None. The 'comedy' in this movie feels like it was written by ChatGPT. It has the cadence of humor. The only thing even humor adjacent in this game was when one of the characters punches another one in the dick.

If you enjoyed this movie, I question your intelligence.
