The Foot Fist Way Ratings & Reviews

Not even funny
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
It's almost funny, or theoretically funny. It's just not actually funny.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A very cool comedy based on character -- real, and really self-deluded characters -- and not on shtick.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Boasting outrageous laughs and a performance with real heart beneath its dim-bulb exterior, The Foot Fist Way is a ragged delight.
Seattle Times
Mark Rahner
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.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Morning zoo radio DJs can rejoice: You'll be mining quotes from this movie for the next several decades.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It's also pretty funny at times, even if its central joke wears thin.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
It plays exactly like a Will Ferrell comedy, but better, because Ferrell's not in it.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
My tolerance for the mockumentary form of comedy has curdled somewhat in the wake of the past decade's serious subgenre overkill.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
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.
Washington Post
Gabe Oppenheim
Just as the dish begins to sizzle, Foot Fist turns off the burners. This is fare meant to be served cool.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
I'm told people at Sundance a couple of years ago loved this movie. I don't know, maybe the altitude got to them.
Entertainment Weekly
Clark Collis
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.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
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.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
The Foot Fist Way amounts to a feature-length audition to win Will Ferrell's attention. And guess what? It worked.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
There are enough droll moments to spark cult status, and McBride's commitment is impressive.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
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.
New York Times
Nathan Lee
This sleeper hit in the making is sweet and sour in all the right proportions, the best thing of its kind since Napoleon Dynamite.
AV Club
Keith Phipps
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.
