Gutterballs

I approached this film with some prejudice, either because of the director, whose previous movie was utter crap, or because of the poster, which is a cheap and cringe rip-off of Maniac’s awesome poster. And I was right! Gutterballs is not worth shit. If I ever get my hands on the creative team, I swear to God something really ugly will happen to them. The film tries to recreate the atmosphere of the 80s, but without any success – it can’t hold a candle even to the weaker representatives of the era. It’s also worth mentioning that I’ve never seen a more insufferable bunch of characters in film, in particular the kid, whose vocabulary was limited to “shit”, “bitch” and “fuck”, giving Gutterballs a good chance of reaching the top of the ranking of the most vulgar films in history – it was really terrible. Don’t let yourselves be fooled by the positive rating on IMDb (7.8/10), it must be the votes of the cast and all the members of the staff (either that, or there’s something I didn’t “get”).
