Balls to the Wall is the story of Ben, an engaged guy who is forced by his future father-in-law (Christopher McDonald) to moonlight as an exotic dancer in order to pay for the extravagant wedding neither of them can afford.   Ben (Joe Hursley) must somehow balance his newfound career of stripping – and all of its ensuing madness – with his relationship to his fiancée Rachel (Jenna Dewan). 

Penelope Spheeris, director of the film, is also known for Wayne’s World, the innovative music documentary trilogy The Decline of Western Civilization, Parts I, II and III, among other popular films.  She most recently directed (alongside Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore and Alicia Keys) a segment of Five, a Lifetime Network movie that premiered October 10, 2011
