TOPIC: Dodgeball

has any one seen this horrible movie yet, it was certainly a movie for 12 yr old girls, because those were the only type of people laughing. It is just a buch of dodgeballs hitting people in the face and balls, which is a cheap laugh.

I kind of liked it, in the same way that I liked Zoolander. It wasn't the jam of the year or anything, but it had some good laughs.

Yes, I really liked Zoolander and expect I'll like this movie, too. Vince Vaughn is yummy.
That's so NA.

Hilarity absolute. This is definitely the funniest movie I've seen in about 7 months. I've seen it three times (I work at a theater, so all of them for free) and it just gets better each time. There is a whole lot of subtlety to the movie's humor outside of the obvious wrench + crotch = funny, especially in Vince Vaughn's character. It is funny in the same vein as Zoolander but the funny is throughout and constant and the movie doesn't feel as stretched as I thought Zoolander did.

Ben Stiller's most wholly satisfying work since, well, Meet the Parents I'd say.

fantastic. a great movie that refuses to take itself seriously. very escapist fun.
Bill, it was a different time. It was back when we didn't know the Russians were incompetent.

i thought it was pretty funny. the dodgeball/wrench in the face/crotch routine palls a bit after it's done once or twice, but it continued throughout the movie until my patience was very much tried. it had it's moments, though. when i see vince vaughn, it just makes me want to drink heavily--there's just something about him which inspires that feeling.
the real highlight of the movie belongs to lance armstrong, though, oddly enough. that part had me in stitches.

this was a great cameo, but Chuck Norris stole the show.

There were many great cameos in the film...

In my opinion if it were not for chuck norris this would have been a much worse movie

I wanted to see this movie, but now I'm skeptical. Zoolander is one of my favorite movies, and I hated meet the parents. Watching people get hit in the face repeatedly isn't funny to me.
thank you for being a friend.

indeed. i think it refers to the long since irrelevant actor who plays the title character in "walker, texas ranger".

It's a show? I thought he had his name officially changed to "Walker Texas Ranger" or was it "Esther"?
