Comedy: Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story

Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story (2004)

10 years ago, the golden child of Paintball, Bobby Dukes, committed the most serious infraction in all of the sport: he wiped. In turn, he was banned from the sport for a decade. This mockumentary takes you through weeks leading up to the Hudson Valley Paintball Classic, when Bobby comes back from exile, and forms a team to earn back his reputation. Unfortunately, Bobby has been black listed from the sport, and no one wants anything to do with him!

Rob Corddry starts as Bobby, and he was perfect for the role. There are numerous appearances from many other lesser known comics, including Daily Show alum Ed Helms and Rob Riggle. Two guys from Human Giant, Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel, also have prominent roles in this funny look at a pretty ridiculous sport.

This movie started out great, but ended kinda flat for me. I think that this could have been a lot better than it was. However, most of it was funny enough to say:

it was okay
