Peter Sellers rolls in his grave

Rating: 1/10 (18 August 2005)

Peter Sellers was (and still is) probably the number 1 in comedy. If he was alive today he would probably die watching what comedy has become in Hollywood. I respected Ben Stiller when I first saw him. I loved his role in "There's something about Mary", even in "The Royal Tenembaums", buy what he's been doing lately seems outrageous for cinema to me. After "Envy" and this unfortunate "Dodgeball" I've lost my faith in Stiller as an actor. He's not funny, as the movie itself, a more than overcooked history about the fight between two guys, old enemies, owners of two gyms, the one in front of the other. Ben Stiller plays the bad guy, trying to take control of his opponents property. They finally decide everything in a Dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas. I hadn't ever seen somebody playing Dodgeball since I was 10. Apparently, after this movie - according to Hollywood's power of influence - it will become olympic in London 2012 (lol).
I'm fed up, Ben, maybe you need to change, like Jim Carrey did, to show the actor you have (maybe) inside.
