Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story Reviews

A few years back, Vince Vaugh and the boys from the frat-pack (Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, Steve Carell and brothers Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson) were really succesfull and this movie was one of the most succesfull they made. Personally, I'm not a big fan of those comedies with some moronic jokes but, I have to admit, I did like this one. Of course, dodgeball seems to be a ridiculous sport, especially with grown-ups, but it is just the reason why it is brilliant for a comedy. Furthermore, there was a pretty good cast (Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller , Christine Taylor, Rip Torn , Justin Long, Jason Bateman, Hank Azaria) and I even found Ben Stiller funny when I usually find his hysterical characters rather obnoxious but not this time. Basically, it follows the standard plot of a sport flick but they make fun of this well-known formula throughout the whole thing and I thought it worked out pretty well. To conclude, it is nothing amazing whatsoever but it is still a really fun and entertaining comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

I was very disappointed when I eventually got round to watching this. Alan was a highlight but Stiller over acted and looked annoyed to be there (as he does in all his comedys)
