I Just Threw Up in My Mouth a Little Bit

Rating: 2/10 (20 December 2009)

Couch-potatoed Vince Vaughn (as Peter La Fleur) and buff "Happy Days" fan Ben Stiller (as White Goodman) run rival workout clubs. Mr. Stiller, the more successful gym-runner, aims to take over the property run by Mr. Vaughn, which has somehow avoided foreclosure. To settle their disputes, club members from each play in a Las Vegas "Dodgeball" tournament, for a $50,000 cash prize. Beautiful blonde banker babe Christine Taylor (as Kate Veatch) attracts both Vaughn and Stiller.
Written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, "Dodgeball" lost its singular "Razzie Award" nomination - although Stiller may get a "Lifetime Achievement" consolation prize, one of these years. This film's joke is, basically people get hit by balls which also happens to be how you describe something in a man's pants Gary Cole and Jason Bateman are good announcers. Rip Torn plays a raunchy urine-drinking coach. Some familiar-faced cameos liven things up a little. Very little.
