A decent comedy with Vaughn and Stiller...

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2005)

This comedy featuring two of the best of the frat-pack... is a solid movie. Dodgeball achieves what it sets out to do, has some very funny jokes and scenes. There are some oddball comedy moments that are truly hilarious. Vince Vaughn is good in the lead role, pretty convincing as a local gym owner who is somehow faced with a dodgeball tournament to save his gym from becoming part of a franchise of gyms owned by White Goodman (Stiller). Stiller has some hilarious moments, but his acting in general is not the best, its a bit similar to a role i saw him in, in Zoolander. I liked Christine Taylor and Rip Torn were funny as heck and so was Stephen Root (Office Space). The films cast is great, Hank Azaria is hilarious in his cameo like role. The film isn't Oscar material, obviously, but its better than your average comedy these days. It was quite enjoyable. 8/10
