Some laughs, but not enough

Rating: 4/10 (5 August 2006)

"Dodgeball..." is another entry in a seemingly endless supply of films where many of today's "funny men"(i.e. Ben Stiller, The Wilson brothers, Vince Vaughn and Will Farrell, etc.)all appear in each others movies. While I applaud their efforts and devotion to each other, it sometimes brings about lame product, that otherwise wouldn't be made if the above listed players did not appear in them.
"Dodgeball" has some amusing moments, and charming if predictable performances from Stiller and Vaughn. But not really enough to justify a film that is barely 90 minutes long.
Some nice cameos throughout, but Gary Cole and Jason Bateman are simply not funny here.
4 out of 10
