If there’s one thing about life that I know, it’s that you never interfere with a football game, especially if you’re in a place like Brazil. Unfortunately, no one ever told Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser, who end up ruining the World Cup final and find themselves on the run. It’s a fun enough concept that also includes one of the craziest condom designs ever. Yes, you heard that right. While I wasn’t a massive fan of Balls Up (check out my review HERE), I think there’s always a place for silly comedies.
It’s very clear from speaking with Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser that they really enjoy each other’s company. Sometimes these interviews can be very by-the-numbers, answering questions as plainly as possible. Thankfully, Mark and Paul were in a very jokey mood and were taking the piss out of everything. Whether it was my question about what scene they’ll remember the most fondly many years from now or Paul being excited to gush over his professional wrestling career, there was a lightness and an energy that was palpable. This was a fun chat that you can check out in the video above!
Balls Up plot:
Two marketers pitch a bold new condom World Cup sponsorship. After a booze-fueled scandal, they must outrun chaos to survive.
Balls Up is now available to stream on Amazon Prime.
