Church Ball (2006)
Did someone say "FUNNY"? ... Yes...I did!
I saw Church Ball over the weekend and I was blown away! I thought it was casted extremely well. Wilson did a great job as the lead! I dare say he might be the most talented of the Wilson boys. I loved having Fred Willard as the Bishop! He really added a lot of humor to that character. It was nice to see Gary Coleman as an adult, Coleman was a clever touch. His parts were great (I do wish he was in it a bit more though) The stuff with the Braken Bros. was hilarious. I loved the little flash back to Buckstead's youth. For me, many films fall apart at the end. Not this one, this has a great ending that I won't mention (but trust me it's good.)
I was glad to finally see a real soundtrack! I thought I would shoot myself in the head if those Halestorm folks had another soundtrack with Rock & Roll hymns. Halestorm Entertainment is the company that produced this flick. Church Ball is BY FAR the best Halestorm movie to date. It had a real plot finally (real enough for a sports comedy anyway) It had a great cast that understood comedy, it was shot well and edited well. Great soundtrack! The whole concept for church ball is hilarious, a bunch of Christian brothers taking a "friendly" game of sport way too far. This definitely raises the bar for these home grown flicks coming out of Utah. Check it out!
