Don't Dodge "Dodgeball"

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2004)

I went and saw "Dodgeball" with a friend of mine about a week ago. We both went in with the expectation that we were just going to be able to laugh a little and have fun with each other because we both thought that the movie looked pretty silly. Or we thought it would just end up being way stupid.
After watching "Dodgeball" we both ended up loving it. It takes a simple concept, and makes it HILARIOUS! You really get behind the dudes at Average Joe's Gym and you really can't wait for them to serve the dudes at GloboGym their a$$es on a platter.
I for one, have always been a Vince Vaughn kind of girl myself, and watching this movie made me love him even more. He was so funny with how he just played Peter La Fleur straight. It was the best. Even Ben Stiller, who can annoy me when he plays characters like these, really made me giggle.
The rest of the cast did awesome too. They were all really funny and really stood out against the two "stars" of the flick, Vaughn and Stiller. And I think I have to give a big shout out to Jason Bateman, who had me and my buddy cracking up as the co-announcer Pepper Brooks, during the dodgeball matches. I don't think I laughed harder than when he was talking.
For those of you who are on the fence about seeing "Dodgeball" because you think it either looks a) too stupid to waste your money on, or b) just too juvenile for your tastes, I suggest you go in with an open mind.
You'll really be surprised what it fills you with. Don't dodge "Dodgeball"!
