Positive reviews exploded online Friday night following the premiere of “Lady Ballers,” a DailyWire+ original and the company’s first-ever feature-length comedy.
The movie tells the story of a down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach named Rob, played by Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, who will do anything to win — in this case, teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports.
“#LadyBallers was awesome!” one person commented on social media platform X. “I knew it would be funny, but I hadn’t considered Daily Wire’s ability to tell stories with good values and morals, (which of course is the case) The end was phenomenal! Way to go [Daily Wire]. You knocked it out of the park!”
“I forgot what that feeling…of seeing a terrific movie, then playing the funny scenes back in my head,” another person commented. “Tonight I remembered. #LadyBallers.”
“#LadyBallers is the necessary comedy for the current age!” another post read. “A must-see for EVERYONE! Thank you, [Jeremy Boreing] for your bold courage!”
“[DailyWire+] just knocked it out of the park!” one viewer wrote. “One of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a LONG time. Funny all the way through. And great to see the whole daily wire crew. #ladyballers.”
“#LadyBallers is hilarious! Best comedy in a LONG time! Reminds me of early 2000s comedy,” an X user commented. “Long overdue and desperately needed.”
“Lady Ballers reminded me of the comedies I grew up with – not the unfunny woke garbage that Hollywood releases these days,” read another online post. “Highly recommend.”
Another viewer said, “#LadyBallers was awesome- I loved every second,” and offered a name for a potential sequel: “Looking forward to the Sequel: Lady Ballers: 2 Balls 2 Furious.”
“#LadyBallers is the best comedy of the year hands down,” another comment read. “Had an amazing time watching it with the family.”
“Bravo! I laughed more throughout this movie than I have in quite a while,” a viewer posted, while another posted that “Lady Ballers” is “a fresh return to humor.”
Under the hashtag #LadyBallers, thousands more viewers sounded off. And some people took to film review site Rotten Tomatoes to leave a positive rating, too.
As of Saturday morning, “Lady Ballers” has racked up more than 500 audience ratings for the movie, landing a stunning 97% audience score.
Notably, only the first six audience reviews are currently available to be viewed on the site. The Daily Wire has reached out to Rotten Tomatoes about the issue.

Boreing, who also directed the film, dropped the trailer online for “Lady Ballers” just last week.
“Hollywood won’t make a movie about how laughably absurd it is that we now allow grown men to call themselves women and then dominate women’s sports,” he captioned the trailer. “So we did.”
