 Bad, Just Bad May 16, 2007

This was really disappointed. I have been playing paintball for the past four years and have played for over 600 hours. As for paintball movies, I have seen a LOT of them (more than anyone that I know, and I know a lot of ballers). This might be the worst "paintball" video that I have seen. Even if it wants to be called a "movie", it is really bad in comparison to what is out there (seen thousands of those, most much better than this). Sure, the filming is technically pretty good, but that's about it. If you love paintball, don't waste your time. If you're thinking about playing paintball, don't waste your time. Try something like "Cereal Killerz", "Road to World Cup", or "Heroes for a Day". Or just scan TV listings for "paintball" -- some of them are NOT what you should do for safety reasons, but at least they will be more entertaining.

Kind of funny, a little dry, some paintballers may not like it, but I thought it was funny.

This is laugh-out-loud-till-it-hurts type funny. That being said, it's not for everybody. The guy who said it was "crude" clearly doesn't get it, which I can see; some people not getting the humor. I've watched this movie with people who (like myself) laughed non-stop, from start to finish. I've also watched it with people who didn't register more than a chuckle the entire movie (I kept looking over and saying, "That doesn't make you laugh? You don't find that funny?? Really???")
Lurking beneath the apparent "crudeness" lies some very intelligent, biting humor (see: The Big Lebowski.) It's more clever than crude. You'll need to watch this movie 3 or 4 times to catch every joke and funny line, which is the true sign of a transcendent comedy. When you consider that 95% of the jokes are improv, that makes it even more impressive. We need more movies like this and fewer (none?) "______ Movie" movies.
The wait is over! July 17, 2006

Ask anyone who has had the opportunity to see this film as it meandered its way through the indie festivals, and they will tell you that this hilarious little gem has kept many an audience in stitches and should have found distribution a long time ago. Not only is the material fresh and off-the-cuff with improvisation-o-plenty, but the story is one that is easy to relate too while at the same time being so absurdly over-the-top that one cannot help but let out a snicker at how paintball gets the full mockumentary treatment, though in a unique style differentiated from those of the "Guest" lineage (Spinal Tap, Mighty Wind,Best In Show, etc...). If you are a fan of improv then you will appreciate the pedigree of this cast, many of which have gone through the Upright Citizens Brigade Comedy Troupe, and have also made appearances on Comedy Central, SNL, and MAD TV. The talent is there, and these folks use it to their fullest - so much so that you focus on the characters, and not the shoe-string budget that put this film into the ranks of an instant cult favorite.
Hilarious May 4, 2006
I saw this movie last fall at the Oxford, MS Film Festival and it was hilarious. It shows that no matter how much (or little) money you have to back up a movie, if the people are good enough then they can carry it. I loved this movie and will buy it they day it comes out.
