The film follows the Falcons, a championship volleyball team, which follow a detour home through remote, unknown roads. They come across a bar, where they are challenged with a most dangerous game.[4]
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of based on critics, with an average rating of . The site's consensus states: "While occasionally funny and relentlessly gory, Girls With Balls is neither particularly strong on cheap thrills nor a very remarkable entry to the trash horror genre."[5]
Scott Tobias of Variety wrote "Afonso doesn't push the cartoonish allure far enough into shocks or titillation, and he's not inventive enough to make up for the absence of cheap thrills".[6]
Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Jordan Mintzer commented "Girls with Balls scores some points for its Z-movie conceits but could have benefited from stronger writing and direction".[1]
According to Kimber Myers of the Los Angeles Times, "This is a deranged nightmare of wildness, as full of laughs as it is arterial sprays".[7]
