Balk (2019) is this quirky little comedy that dives into the absurdity of adult friendships. You’ve got Rob and Pat, these two middle-aged guys who think they're still the kings of mischief. Their scheme to kidnap a Little League star player to sway a game outcome has this bizarre charm. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the offbeat feel of the film. The performances have this raw energy, kind of like watching your funny but slightly dysfunctional friends get into trouble. It’s not groundbreaking, but it captures that weird blend of nostalgia and absurdity that flips the script on what we expect from a sports movie. Plus, it’s got some fun practical effects sprinkled in.
