Funny and Smart

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2004)

Just a funny movie that parodies a wide range of subject. Stiller's character is just that. He is great!! Vince Vaughn as the straight man is tremendous. Great timing. What makes this movie so fun is the all out, over the top, making fun of sports and the various personality type that inhabit sport (even an outlandish concept of "professional dodgeball"). Rip Torn is great as usual. The "commentary" during the dodgeball tourney is fall on the floor hilarious! Excellent physical comedy, if violent, but hey, if you don't like it you don't get the joke. This is a film for people who actually understand how comedy is made. And don't leave early, you will be rewarded by Stiller after the credits. This is comedy with an edge.
