    Director Peter Farrelly has officially entered his "raunchy-at-all-costs" era, and the results are a bit of a mess. This soccer-themed comedy follows two marketing executives—played by Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser—who head to Brazil to pitch a bold condom sponsorship for the World Cup, only for a drunken scandal to turn the entire country against them. While it’s great to see a studio comedy go for that hard-R, over-the-top energy again, the film earns a 4/10 because it leans way too heavily on repetitive, "low-hanging fruit" humor. Mark Wahlberg plays the fast-talking Brad with his usual confidence, but the character starts to feel flat as the script trades actual wit for a non-stop barrage of "dick jokes" and absurd stunts. Paul Walter Hauser is easily the highlight, bringing some much-needed humanity to the chaos, but even his performance can't save a plot that feels like a rejected, Brazil-set version of The Hangover. If you’re looking for a brainless, 104-minute distraction with a few creative chases, it might be worth a Friday night stream—just don't expect it to be a classic.
