If there's such a thing as a destined-to-be-cult film, The Fist Foot Way is one. Self-aggrandizing tae kwon do instructor Fred Simmons (Danny McBride, Drillbit Taylor, Tropic Thunder) belittles his young and inexperienced students and snipes at his wife Suzie (Mary Jane Bostic). But when marital trouble strikes, Fred's sense of self capsizes and he starts acting out in wildly inappropriate ways. When a pilgrimage to meet his hero, sleazy martial arts champion Chuck "The Truck" Wallace (Ben Best), has terrible results, Fred must confront his demons--and, this being a comedy, his struggle is wildly unsuccessful. McBride is a white trash American version of Ricky Gervais (BBC's The Office); he's created a character whose excruciatingly bad behavior can't be dismissed because it's too real. Jeff Simmons is petty, tyrannical, insecure, delusional, lacking any sliver of dignity--i.e., human in all the worst ways. Many people will find The Foot Fist Way unendurable, but some members of the moviegoing public (and you'll know who you are the moment you see this movie) are going to find it painfully funny, so funny they'll have to turn away and cringe from recognition even as they succumb to fits of giggles. --Bret Fetzer

Danny McBride did this movie before he did Eastbound & Down. Both involve a character on the trashy, obnoxious, athletically employed side. Eastbound & Down's variation is that the guy once hit it big. This character will never hit it big. There is another variation. The marital problem here is dead serious. He is married to a woman who looks and acts like a two bit hooker. I thought he did a marvelous, very credible job of playing a guy who keeps deluding himself about the woman he married until he no longer can. That was the best part of the movie for me. It showed another side to McBride's talent. Yes, he does play some aspects of it for laughs but he really shows his acting chops here as the cuckold. All this said, one viewing was enough. Danny McBride is a terrific talent and I am looking forward to seeing a lot more of him.

This was a pretty funny movie! Danny McBride was the perfect choice for Taekwondo instructor Fred Simmons. He teaches kids and adults. When he finds out that his wife is cheating on him, he goes a little crazy, and tries to restore his confidence. He gets to meet his idol, Chuck "the Truck" Wallace who is an action star. When he finds Chuck making out with his wife, Fred challenges him to a martial arts demonstration of board breaking. Can Fred beat his idol? I highly recommend THE FOOT FIST WAY!!!

I love Danny McBride, but found this flick a little hard to get into. It's not so much that the jokes fell flat, it's that they had a good joke that just kept repeating over and over. The basic joke is that the incompetent taekwondo instructor turns child-bully as he struggles through the parts of his life that really aren't solveable by violence. As the main character just became more and more of a bully and less and less of a warm, comical, likeable character, I basically stopped caring about him and what happens to him in this movie. By the half way point I couldn't help but think the character just deserved to have bad things happen to him, or that it didn't really matter what happened to him. After about an hour you've heard all the jokes this movie has to offer. I will still root for Danny to have a good career because he is just hilarious in other stuff.
