If you've seen any Ben Stiller movie - this isn't much different. Same faces (Vince Vaughan, Christine Taylor, etc). Same kind of humor (slapstick, blunt, sarcastic, stupid). And equally funny. Dodgeball opened to mixed reviews among fans of this kind of movie - most loved it, but some found it utterly stupid... well hello - its a comedy about a dodgeball league... of course its stupid! And thats why its entertaining and great. In all honest - Vince Vaughan et al have done better work - but there are tons of laughs in this and its a great 90 minutes.
There are a lot of movies that are made that are stupid comedies staring middle aged men, and whereas I don't like most of them, this is one movie I really enjoy. Sure, it has offhanded humor and everything else you would except from a movie with Ben Stiler, Vince Vaugn, and even Justin Long,(at least, I think that's his name) in it. Dodgeball also has a moral to it, and a catch at the end that is enough to set it apart from any other completely predictable movie. This one is up there with Anchorman and Zoolander.
YOU'LL DODGE,DUCK,DIP,DIVE... AND LAUGH OUT LOUD WATCHING (VINCE VAUGHN) AND (BEN STILLER) SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES IN A WINNER-TAKE-ALL DODGEBALL COMPETITION. UNDER THE PAINFUL TUTELAGE OF LEGENDARY ADAA CHAMP PATCHES O' HOULIHAN (RIP TORN) PETER LAFLEUR (VAUGHN) AND HIS AVERAGE JOES TAKE ON THE PURPLE COBRAS,LED BY EGOMANIACAL FITNESS GURU WHITE GOODMAN (STILLER). IT'S AN OVER-THE-TOP UNDERDOG TALE FILLED WITH HILARIOUS GAGS AND BALL-OUT FUN!
Dodgeball One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot fo funny movies! Stiller, Vaughn, Long, Taylor, and Torn are just a few of the stars in this movie that help it shine. Dodgeball is one of the only comedies I have been able to watch over and over again. I've seen it 100+ times and still laugh out loud everytime. Guest spots by Chuck Norris, Lance Armstrong, Bill Shatner, and David Hasselhoff are among the funniest scenes Dodgeball has to offer. The story is great, the acting is great, the laughs are continuos, and there isn't a 5 minute span where you won't be falling out of your seat. Final Verdict: 6/5 Rent or Buy?: One of the funniest movies ever made, that has a replay value of 2,000,000%. This movie is a definite must buy!!!

This is one of my all time favorite movies. It keeps you laughing throughout. The movie starts out with Peter (Vaughn) who owns Average Joe's gym, which is a bit decrepit. His gym has been losing clients since Globo Gym opened across the street. White Goodman (Stiller), who owns Globo Gym, tries taking over Average Joe's by hiring an attorney. The attorney tells Peter that if he doesn't pay $50,000 within 30 days that Average Joe's will be sold to White. The remaining clients of Average Joe's try to think of a way to raise $50,000 within the time limit, and they decide that they'll play in the Dodgeball Tournament which has a winning grand prize of $50,000. They also come across a man who is willing to coach them, Patches (Rip Torn), who isn't normal by any means. They also find out that Globo Gym is also in the Dodgeball Tournament, who they must beat in order to win the Tournament. The cast includes: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Alan Tudyk, Justin Long, and Rip Torn. It also has some cameos from: Chuck Norris, William Shatner, David Hasselhoff, and Lance Armstrong.Read full review
