How's this for impressive trivia: Dodgeball faced off against The Terminal in opening-weekend competition, and 29-year-old writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber aced Steven Spielberg by a score of $30 to $18.7 in box-office millions. That's no mean feat for a newcomer, but Thurber's lowbrow script and rapid-fire direction--along with a sublime cast of screen comedians--proved to be just what moviegoers were ravenous for: a consistently hilarious, patently formulaic romp in which the underdog owner of Average Joe's Gym (Vince Vaughn) faces foreclosure unless he can raise $50,000 in 30 days. The solution: A dodgeball tournament offering $50K to the winners, in which Vaughn and his nerdy clientele team up against the preening, abhorrently narcissistic owner (Ben Stiller) of Globo Gym, who's threatening a buy-out. That's it for story; any 5-year-old could follow it with brainpower to spare. But Thurber, Vaughn, Stiller, and their well-cast costars (including Stiller's off-screen wife, Christine Taylor) keep the big laughs coming for 96 nonsensical minutes. With spot-on cameos by champion bicyclist Lance Armstrong, David Hasselhoff, Hank Azaria, Chuck Norris, and William Shatner, and a crudely amusing coda for those who watch past the credits, Dodgeball is no masterpiece, but you can bet Spielberg was unexpectedly humbled by its popular appeal. --Jeff Shannon
Product Description
Dodgeball PSP UMD Movie MODEL- 19731 VENDOR- UMD MOVIE FEATURES- Dodgeball PSP Movie Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story revolves around amiable underachiever Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughn), whose rundown gym, Average Joes, is populated by a less- than-average clientele including a self-styled pirate, an ultra- obscure sports aficionado, and a pining high school nerd. Despite Average Joes posing little threat to Globo Gym, a fitness Goliath owned by White Goodman (Ben Stiller), Peters humble recreation center becomes a subject of much controversy when Goodman learns of his competitions less than meticulous bookkeeping. Determined to expand his empire, Goodman hires attorney Kate Veach (Christine Taylor) to initiate a hostile takeover of the gym. Peters ragtag group of regulars, however, are less than thrilled with the prospects, and mobilize a showdown, winner-takes-all Dodgeball tournament against Globo Gym. The film also features Missi Pyle, Rip Torn, Stephen Root, and Alan Tudyk. -- SPECIFICATIONs ----------------------------------- MPAA Rating : PG13 Genre : Ensemble Film, Sports Comedy Theatrical Date : 2004 Run Time : 92 minutes Distributor/Studio: 20th Century Fox sonystyle.com

 I LOVED this movie! December 30, 2008

O..M..G!!!! Hands down this funniest movie I've ever seen. Ben Stiller is the hilarious, even better than Zoolander. If you like silly, this is the movie for you!
3 stars out of 4 December 18, 2008
One-Line Film Reviews (Ann Arbor)
The Bottom Line:
A sly satire of the feel-good sports movie posing as a feel-good sports movie, Dodgeball suffers from a phoned-in performance by Vince Vaughn but otherwise features a number of engaging comic actors and scenes--not a great film, but certainly an amusing one.

Rule #1: Dodge This Movie September 15, 2008
Dustin Emerson (Lancaster, KY)

You can spot huge advertisement everywhere, "Another Big Hit Comedy From Ben Stiller" which made me actually believed this movie could be pretty funny and even good. And man was I surprised, it should've said "Another 'I'm Pissing My Career Down The Sever' Comedy From Ben Stiller". Seriously, I used to like and wait something from a Ben Stiller film/comedy but nowadays they're just not good. Last good film "from" Ben Stiller propably was Royal Tenenbaums from years ago. Every single crap he has done ever since has been crap in the meaning. Just for the record, the leading actor is mostly Vince Vaughn. The plot is thick, very formulaic and as easily predictable as the result of Finland versus England football match up. Acting feels like they only shot when it were Sunday. Okay it's better to jump over what's bad as I really didn't like this movie at all. So what good there can be if... the one and only thing worth the while are the cameos from David Hasselhoff and Chuck Norris, which both lasts about 5 seconds in total. Rule #2: You can have a lot more fun with your own balls.
