"Fred Simmons (Danny McBride) is the type of blustery, provincial narcissist who is always putting his foot in his mouth and absolutely loving how it tastes. By day this goofball guru of a suburban tae kwon do studio teaches his disciples how to bust cinder blocks according to a five-step code of honor ('self-control, courtesy, perseverance, integrity, indomitable spirit'). By night he flops on the couch and pretends to care about his wife, Suzie (Mary Jane Bostic), and her day at work. Her new job as a dental office assistant apparently entails little more than compiling lists of co-workers 'most likely to go on a killing spree' and photocopying her breasts. This shenanigan, coupled with an indiscretion involving Suzie's hand and the private parts of her boss, sends Fred on a voyage of uproarious self-delusion in The Foot Fist Way, an itsy-bitsy, ultra-indie, super-silly comedy packing huge laughs and unexpected heart. Shot on the cheap by the director Jody Hill, who wrote the pitch-perfect script with Mr. McBride and the actor Ben Best—here playing Chuck (the Truck) Wallace, a dissolute tae kwon do master and total jerk—this sleeper hit in the making is sweet and sour in all the right proportions, the best thing of its kind since Napoleon Dynamite."
