I first heard about The Foot Fist Way when some guys at work were laughing at the trailer because they thought the main character, played by Danny McBride, reminded them of someone they knew. Basically, this is a Will Ferrell movie without Will Ferrell. It's plenty offensive, but also delivers quite a few laughs. The title of the movie is the literal translation of Tae Kwan Do.
Danny McBride, who has gone on to memorable supporting roles in movies like Hot Rod and Tropic Thunder, plays an egotistical Tae Kwan Do instructor who thinks he can take on anybody and is in total control of his world. He's a real cheeseball, and he's so full of himself that he can't see his own faults. When his wife cheats on him and then leaves him, his whole world comes crumbling down because he realizes he is no longer in control of everything. This spills over to his training center where it is reflected on his students.
