A very funny comedy made even more engaging by the performances of the cast. I'm not a big fan of stupid comedies, but this one had me laughing. Ben Stiller is a riot in a part he has done before, the egotistical exercise maniac who is unbelievably full of himself. Vince Vaughn is wonderfully deadpan as the owner of the run-down gym that needs saving. Christine Taylor is good as the banker who is the unwilling object of Stiller's affection; her scenes of disgust when acting opposite him are hilarious. But, the highlight comes when Justin Long's character is subjected to dodgeball torture by Rip Torn's oddball trainer. It's all hilarious from beginning to end.
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball". There are so many good lines in this movie. While probably not the most cerebral comedy out there, at least it doesn't run on fart and penis jokes like so many other so-called "comedies". A quick paced, fun movie with likable characters (how can you not like "Steve the Pirate"?). One of the most enjoyable comedies I've seen in a while. "Our team motto? Aim Low".
I loved this movie. You'd need to be completly dull not to laugh out loud at least once. It's full humor and great characters, especially White Goodman played by Stiller.
Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.
If you can dodge traffic you can dodge a ball.
Go ahead, make your jokes, Mr. Jokey... Joke-maker. But let me hit you with some knowledge. Quit now. Save yourself the embarrassment of losing with these losers in Las Vegas, La Fleur
Welcome back to ESPN 8 "The Ocho"
If its almost a sport weve got it.
Hilarious and offbeat satire of the traditional Hollywood feelgood movie - which still leaves you feeling pretty good (unless you watch the credits - that'll leave a sour aftertaste!). Bizarre, yet standard.
The ad slogan for the movie's featured evil corporation is, "At Globo-Gym, we're better than you, and you know it!" The movie itself could've easily used the slogan, "We'll make you laugh mindlessly, and you'll know it!" Being supremely aware of every stupid, immoral, uncivil, and just-plain-wrong thing it does makes Dodgeball either very smart or just as dopey as it's trying to look. It almost feels like a dare: laugh at this because you know you it's easy to get hooked on an underdog/sports story; laugh at this, even though you know it's wrong to find stereotypes funny; laugh at this, even though we all know this is totally dumb. Viewers are constantly kept aware of all the intentional idiocy by the exaggerated onslaught of genre conventions, and the whole thing is capped off by an object wheeled in during the climax that's literally labeled "Deus Ex Machina," and by a post-credits cherry featuring Ben Stiller commenting on the audience's lowbrow tastes. Although the movie clunks in many places, it has enough comic inspiration to save it, from its lampooning dodgeball as a demeaning sport (thus actually making an honest critique of the origin and existence of this semi-barbaric activity in the process) to Stiller and Vince Vaughn switching roles against-type as the bully and the put-upon protagonist, respectively. They make the most of it when Stiller rattles off circuitous, ineffective threats and Vaughn reacts in squinty-eyed disbelief. I was also reacting to the movie that way, but I was laughing at the same time.
as i said, i have a soft spot for Vince Vaugn and his on-point sort of sarcastic humor. And I'm slowly growing appreciation for Jason Bateman as well. I'm already tired of Ben Stiller though, and despite that I thought this movie was really funny.
Ok not very good movie but it had its moments. Gotta Love Stiller as the bad guy in the white oldschool leisure suit. oh and remember "If you can dodge a wrenge you can dodge a ball."
One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. One of those movies that you will laugh every time you watch it no matter how many times you've seen it. Hilariously awesome.
Still laughing now! The cover says it all and throws Ben into a painful and unpredictably hysterical character that you just gotta see! I think this one brought out the Vaughn for the world. Good silly funny when you are tired and cold or bored, this relights the fire!

It's surprising how such a weird film can have a meaning behind it. Other than Shaun of the dead , this is probably the funniest film I've seen. Some of the things White goodman and the guy in the wheelchair are so random and just make me laugh so much. But every character is so unique and so hilarious.
