Editorial Review: Description: 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 LaFle Amazon.com: How's this for impressive trivia: Dodgeball faced off against The Terminal in opening-weekend competition, and 29-year-old writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber aced Steven Spielberg by a score of $30 to $18.7 in box-office millions. That's no mean feat for a newcomer, but Thurber's lowbrow script and rapid-fire direction--along with a sublime cast of screen comedians--proved to be just what moviegoers were ravenous for: a consistently hilarious, patently formulaic romp in which the underdog owner of Average Joe's Gym (Vince Vaughn) faces foreclosure unless he can raise $50,000 in 30 days. The solution: A dodgeball tournament offering $50K to the winners, in which Vaughn and his nerdy clientele team up against the preening, abhorrently narcissistic owner (Ben Stiller) of Globo Gym, who's threatening a buy-out. That's it for story; any 5-year-old could follow it with brainpower to spare. But Thurber, Vaughn, Stiller, and their well-cast costars (including Stiller's off-screen wife, Christine Taylor) keep the big laughs coming for 96 nonsensical minutes. With spot-on cameos by champion bicyclist Lance Armstrong, David Hasselhoff, Hank Azaria, Chuck Norris, and William Shatner, and a crudely amusing coda for those who watch past the credits, Dodgeball is no masterpiece, but you can bet Spielberg was unexpectedly humbled by its popular appeal. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fast Delivery!This was just a positive experience dealing with the seller. Couldn't have asked for more! Rating:  - Rule #1: Dodge This MovieYou can spot huge advertisement everywhere, "Another Big Hit Comedy From Ben Stiller" which made me actually believed this movie could be pretty funny and even good. And man was I surprised, it should've said "Another 'I'm Pissing My Career Down The Sever' Comedy From Ben Stiller". Seriously, I used to like and wait something from a Ben Stiller film/comedy but nowadays they're just not good. Last good film "from" Ben Stiller propably was Royal Tenenbaums from years ago. Every single crap he has done ... Read More Rating: - Stiller deliversThis is a hilarious movie. Great spin on a childhood game picked up by adults. Ben is great Rating: - What a movie!I think when you put Vince Vaughn in most any comedy he will do a fine job. This is probably his funniest work to date. When you take the idea of dodge ball as a competitive sport you know its going to be funny. Most all of the supporting cast is funny, the only person that is not is Ben Stiller. I think he truly was trying not to be funny and really that was supposed to be his character. The movie is great and though I have not seen the unrated version yet I am sure the general movie is still the same. Rating: - Sometimes It Is Best To Dodge "Artistic" EndingsWith elements of parody culled from such sources as the movie, Hoosiers, G.I. Joe action figures and exercise equipment/nutrition infomercials, this is an absolute funny romp that is not just individual bits spliced together; the plot moves sprightly past what was supposed to be the ending - the final game - to a much more satisfying conclusion of sudden-death overtime on the Dodgeball floor. Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn are outstanding in their roles in this unique variation of good versus ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
