Film review: The Foot Fist Way

THE FOOT FIST WAY (15)

**

DIRECTED BY: JODY HILL
STARRING: DANNY McBRIDE, MARY JANE BOSTIC, BEN BEST

That's mainly because he has no real idea what those tenets – courtesy, self-control, integrity, perseverance and indomitable spirit – actually mean, which is why he sometimes beats up his young students, sleazes over the women in his class and drives a Ferrari while wearing a porn-star moustache that he believes makes him look cool.

Discovering that his wife has been unfaithful to him is the event that shakes his faith in life, causing him to embark on a mission to get his hero, a Chuck Norris-style Tae Kwon Do champ called Chuck the Truck, to perform at his school.

Shot using the done-to-death mock-doc format, this aims for the cringe factor of The Office, but forgets to give Fred any of David Brent's redeeming qualities, so he comes across as little more than a loathsome idiot who makes inappropriate jokes about gang rape.
