Product: Dodgeball/Borat Bonus Preview Disc (2004)
Rating: 4.0
Entertaining, to say the least!
I am a huge fan of Ben Stiller's. Indeed, I proudly say that "Zoolander" is one of my all-time favorite movies, despite the criticism the title brings with it. So when I rented "Dodgeball," I was hoping that it would be another great feat on Stiller's part."Dodgeball" was entertaining, to say the least. Stiller plays an evil commercial-gym owner whose goal is to purchase the Average-Joe gym across the street. However, Vince Vaughn's character will have none of it, despite his $50,000 debt.Enter solution: a dodgeball tournament with a grand prize of (drum roll please) $50,000."Dodgeball" is the hilarious story of the average Joes' journey from "average" to "dodgeball extrordinaires." Packed with slapstick and potty humor, "Dodgeball" is sure to please 13-year-old boys (and my father) and Ben Stiller aficitionados alike.I recommend this film to those that can take vulgar humor (e.g. hurling wrenches at people's heads: "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.") and to those that aren't looking for an incredibly thought-provoking film.Overall: four stars.
