Marketing our Childhood Games

Rating: 4/10 (30 June 2004)

Sophomoric, uninspired, exclusive, demeaning and too-much-stiller: the homoerotic humor was completely lost on me.
The jokes were predictable; the movie lacked any kind of complexity and was terribly written.
And the moral, like the movie, was bull***t. Although the movie may indicate that it's okay to be an Average-Joe, they really think you're disgusting and worth-mocking if you are overweight. Enough with the fat jokes Hollywood. It wasn't funny in Austin Powers. At least it was redeeming in Shallow Hal. "Normal" in Dodgeball only exists outside of terrible caricatures: the nerd, black guy, the crazy disabled guy, love-smitten teen, and all the east European, Asian and xenophobic biases you can imagine.
Quite a let-down after Zoolander ... but that was VH1 sponsored. This had ESPN & FoxSports' backing ... I'm not surprised.
Damn you Chuck Norris!
