One of the best examples of how pathetic modern comedy is

Rating: 1/10 (27 September 2007)

Well all I can say is that this sort of comedy film is typical for our times: moronic, thoughtless, star-struck, politically correct and worst of all, unfunny.
On one hand, I can count the number of films in the past 7 years that have genuinely made me laugh on one hand. Everything else tends to be films where everyone says "you've gotta see it... it's so funny" and then when you actually sit through it, you either can't wait for it to end or you turn it off. Dodgeball was no exception to the rule.
The screenwriters must have burst a blood vessel in their brain coming up with the misfit underdog formula and once they had put the finishing touches on this trite, they handed it over to the casting agent who looked no further than the dreadful Ben Stiller to fly across the screen as the moronic and ultimately unfunny adversary.
The fact that this crap made so much money is a sad indictment on the general public's taste in comedy.
And I'm still waiting for a Ben Stiller film that I actually like.
