One of those 'so stupid it's funny' movies

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2017)

'Dodgeball' achieves almost all of its laughs through the sheer stupidity of the plot and some ridiculous individual scenes. Over-the- top comedies like this usually either end up being complete disasters or very funny, and I would definitely place 'Dodgeball' in the latter category.
The guy behind this film went on to direct 2013's 'We're the Millers' and the similarities between the two are clear. Both have ridiculous plots, silly gags and eccentric characters that, on paper, really shouldn't work. Not only do they work, but both were a complete blast to watch. The sort of film that you can't take seriously, because it doesn't even take itself seriously!
