Absolutely Hilarious

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2004)

This movie made me laugh long and hard! It was so over-the-top in slapstick lowbrow humor that you can't help but laugh. Don't go see this move if you are looking for an inspiring underdog story (ok, it might be that too) or a sports movie (that would be stretching it a bit.) See this movie to laugh 'till you are shaking in your seat. This movie uses the standard underdog plot with tongue in cheek. The group of "Average Joes" were likable and the villain was despicable, and all were outrageous stereotypes. But the really purpose of this movie was the slapstick. The constant barrage of jokes (somewhat obscure sexual references, dork humor, and puns) keeps you laughing the whole time. Ben Stiller was hilarious but doesn't hog the spotlight. Vince Vaughn, Steven Root, Rip Torn and the rest of the "Joes" were a really great team. If I could have bought the DVD on the way out of the theater, I would have.
