VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
gamezmaximo Good show I love the rock he is such a good actor.................
Angelus111 For those that haven't yet started Ballers, well then you're seriously missing out. Season 1 & 2 just couldn't be any more fun. Primarily based in a world of 'tit's & ass (and who doesn't love that?!),' it's a wonderful 'no brainer' show with some interesting subplots...second of course to the T&A and general over-indulgence. Great performances from Dwayne Johnson and a number of the supporting cast, however prepare yourself the likes of Donavon Carter (Vernon) and others who'll make your question if the Casting Director has a substance abuse issue..10/10, I can't get enough of this show! ...however..Before you fall in love too quickly, beware of Season 3. I'm not sure if we've seen a switch in writers but for what was already a pretty basic/simple show, the writing now feels terribly lazy. What was at first a show routed in entertainment; cheap thrills and a structured plot, somehow loses its way completely. You'll find yourself re-watching everything you saw in 1 & 2, only with a slightly different spin - Spencer again has a medical condition to contend with (which will later be discarded and never mentioned again), they need to take on another rich businessman (who knew 'Mahoney' couldn't act?!), and so on. Far worse is the show seems to lose its identity focusing less on fantasy lifestyles and switching to tackling 'corporate greed' - be prepared to endure the "You sound like a rich white guy" line more than once. Season 3 feels less like Ballers, and more like an afternoon with The Walton's installing solid family and moral values. I've already purchased the first two seasons, I'm starting to question if this was a mistake..So, Ballers is a great show. Just don't start investing your money until we've seen Season 4 and know if 3 was just a blip!
legra66 I felt I could predict what was to come seeing we see ballers lives play out in real life anyways but, some surprises. As with all HBO programs, seems there always has to be the gratuitous sex scenes in every episode which is getting a tad annoying and putting me off HBO shows altogether. Besides that, not a bad show and worth watching!!
ianstark-95882 With a relatively good rating, and good reviews I thought the show was going to better than it actually was. The show's comedy is very one dimensional and somewhat stereotypical, it's similar to what you will find in the movies 'war dogs', 21/22 jump street, superbad, etc. So don't expect any comedic gold to come out of this show, for me it was a giggle every now and then. As far as the story goes, it's once again pretty plain, you can see what's going to happen next from a mile away and you always know that everything is going to go okay for our protagonists. The show was underwhelming to say the least, but it was still an in all entertaining, if you're looking for a show that isn't serious and might make you crack a smile here and there, go ahead and watch it, the episodes are short so you won't get bored, I wouldn't call it a bad show, but it's not as good as it could be either.
