If you thought Dodgeball was bad..............

Rating: 1/10 (5 September 2006)

We got to see this in Manchester as a free sneak preview before it was released, and by god am I glad it was free!!! To have paid for this tripe would have been daylight robbery and just pure fraud by everyone connected to it!!
I'll start with the plot. Its extremely wafer thin and has about as much depth to it as my sister's blow up paddling pool. Secondly, it has been so Americanised its unreal. Not a scene passed without us in the cinema having some form of American patriotism shoved down our throats. The characters were unbelievably shallow, which you can probably blame on Will Ferrell's atrocious acting. And yes, I blame him for ALL the character's being terrible. That is the measure of my hatred for him. Why this guy gets paid millions at a time to be total, utter s**t I do not know
And Finally, it wasn't funny in the slightest. Sure there were one or two little bits where we chuckled briefly, but I was never hooked and wanting more. I wanted to go home. I wanted to die.
So to sum up, this is an extremely high concept film which never came even close to entertaining me. If you like glancing at your watch every 30 seconds and being able to predict the ending before the opening credits have finished, this is the one for you !!
