Red-Band Trailer For Peter Farrelly's BALLS UP Teases a Wild, Raunchy Comedy with Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser
If you’ve been wondering what happens when you mix sports marketing, bad decisions, and an aggressively dumb premise, Balls Up has arrived to answer that question.
The first trailer for the upcoming Prime Video comedy is here, and the Peter Farrelly-directed film leans hard into raunchy, over-the-top humor with Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser leading the charge as two guys who absolutely should not be trusted with a global campaign.
The story follows Brad and Elijah, a pair of marketing executives who somehow think they’ve cracked the next big idea. In this raunchy, over-the-top sports comedy, marketing executives Brad (Mark Wahlberg) and Elijah (Paul Walter Hauser) go "balls out" and pitch a bold full-coverage condom sponsorship directly to the World Cup.
After their drunken celebration in Brazil sparks a global scandal, they must outrun furious fans, criminals, and power-hungry officials to salvage their careers and make it home alive. It’s basically a globe-trotting disaster fueled by terrible judgment and even worse luck.
Farrelly, known for everything from Green Book to Dumb and Dumber, is no stranger to comedies that push things into ridiculous territory, and this one seems to fully embrace that side of his filmmaking.
The script comes from Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the duo behind the Deadpool films and Zombieland, so you can expect that same kind of anything-goes humor baked into the chaos.
The supporting cast includes Benjamin Bratt, Eva De Dominici, Daniela Melchior, Molly Shannon, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Eric André all showing up to add to the madness.
This is one of those concepts that feels so over-the-top it almost dares you to take it seriously, and it’s probably not a surprise that it’s skipping theaters entirely. Prime Video is dropping it straight to streaming.
Balls Up hits Prime Video on April 15, 2026. If this kind of chaotic, lowbrow comedy is your thing, you might get a kick out of it. If not… you’ve been warned.
