Let's play Dodgeball!

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 2004)

Rawson Marshall Thurber has come out with one of the funniest summer films of the year. Frankly, not even knowing what to expect, we had hesitated about seeing it, but what a pleasant surprise this movie turned out to be! If one goes with an open mind, it will entertain anyone in any age group.
The film is insane. Ben Stiller does probably his best work in a while. He's been in lots of films lately that don't do anything for him, let alone show him at his goofiest self. Mr. Thurber must have seen a possibility casting him, and it paid handsomely. Vince Vaughn, plays with a straight face, but he is quite good and holds his own playing opposite to Mr. Stiller.
The scenes in Las Vegas, during the finals of the Dodgeball tournament are absolutely insane. The game is a lot of fun to watch and will turn any viewer into a fan.
Be prepared to laugh a lot! Light fare like this is always welcome and Rawson Marshall Turner knows how to keep us happy.
