A Pleasing Underdog Story...
Okay, so it's not the most intelligent comedy but it is a comedy and a good one at that. Not every movie is supposed to make you think and laugh at the same time. Some movies are just supposed to be funny (especially if starring Ben Stiller). Dodgeball fulfilled this request and I'm so glad to see Vince Vaughn doing something. He's such a great comedian with his dry subtle wit and really plays off of Stiller's over-the-top-ness well. Was JErry Stiller in this movie? I don't remember but let's just assume that he was. Anyway, it was a great predictable movie and I thought the cameo with Lance Armstrong was the best scene ("What are you dying of?" "Right now. Shame mostly")This movie goes great with "Starksy and Hutch" in which the roles are switched and Vaughn plays the baddie and Stiller is back to his "Royal Tennebaums" neurotic control freak character.And yes, Ben Stiller has played this character he plays in "Dodgeball" before in a movie called "Heavyweights". I would also recommend watching that.
