I read a review saying that McBride was funny in Drillbit Taylor, but was too much of a "jerky jerk" in Foot Fist Way. If you agree with this statement, then, if I may use a line from the movie, you... Full review

I don't know how anyone can compare this writing to shows like "The Office" or movies like Napoleon Dynamite. Not even close....The acting was atrocious and I do like Danny McBride---not here. It was too reliant on F-Bombs and sexual references,... Full review

This movie is full of great one-liners and low down humor that gets funnier everytime you watch it. I've seen it twice, and Danny McBride is brilliant! Ben Best also is hillarious as the washed up B-movie action hero. The movie... Full review

If "Eastbound & Down" is only looking to get the "Foot Fist Way" audience, then worrying about comedic ambition is pointless.
Not many comedy series on TV are very good.

An unsophisticated film, featuring two master simpletons.
The DVD includes a multitude of drier than sand deleted scenes, a lousy outtake reel, an absurd alternate ending, and a relatively qualified feature commentary option with Hill and McBride.

Indeed, I never even cracked a smile, as the film failed to provide anything that remotely smacked of humor.
On the DVD's cover, a blurb claims the flick is so "hilarious you'll laugh helplessly".
I guess the film featured a natural palette

We also get a half-hour featurette mostly consisting of on-set footage, bloopers and an impressive amount of deleted scenes along with an alternate ending which are fairly entertaining.
The most notable special feature is the feature-length audio commentary with McBride, Jody Hill and production designer Randy Gambill and the result is chummy and entertaining as expected.
