Forget 'Balls Up' — stream these 3 hilarious comedy movies on Prime Video instead

(L-R) Mark Wahlberg as Brad Lewison and Paul Walter Hauser as Elijah in "Balls Up" on Prime Video.

On Wednesday, April 15, Prime Video's newest original comedy movie premiered on the streaming service. This is "Balls Up," a new R-rated caper from Peter Farrelly ("Green Book," "Dumb and Dumber"), and within days of its release, this "raunchy, over-the-top comedy" (as Amazon pitches it) has become the streamer's latest No. 1 watch — but if you're yet to watch it, you might want to think twice.

Why? Well, that's because "Balls Up" hasn't exactly been well-received, either by critics or other viewers. At the time of writing, the movie has a measly 28% rating from reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes, with an even lower 26% from fellow film fans. Some of the worst reactions brand it either a "just another streaming-era time-filler," or just a flat-out "disaster."
