Great Fun, if you like movies like Zoolander

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2004)

I have always hated the game of dodgeball - I find degrading, horrifying, and of course, I was always a little girl in those coed gym classes who got smacked in the head. So I thought I would really hate this movie - but when others are getting hit in the head with a ball I could truly appreciate how funny it is as the bully. I did feel their pain though. This is no high brow humor movie - there is little brain work needed to watch, so I would say drop your maturity down a few notches and you will appreciate the art of slapstick. There are some brief celebrity appearances that are fun to watch too, and this is the first Stiller movie I laughed out loud the whole time since Zoolander. Warning: If you are not a fan of that movie, then you'll probably hate this one because it is the same crazy humor. The characters are so outrageous, the story so ridiculous, that I loved the whole thing. Watch the entire credits sequence too, because at the end there is another little bit with Stiller that is great!
