sox4lifeinPA Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 didn't see a review for this either... I got back from the Tennessee leg of the tour and needed to veg in front of the silver screen, so I saw "Dodgeball" last nigth... it was great. There were some perfect moments that made this movie stand above the rest of the "stiller, and cohorts" movies. Chuck Norris, Lance Armstrong, and Luck of the Irish are among the funniest parts. Go see it, you'll be quite pleased compared to moderately funny flicks like "Starsky and Hutch", "Along came polly", or "Big Bounce". Great movie, IMO.

da_bears86 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 saw it last night too. the funniest movie ive seen in awhile i absolutely loved it. the critics dont know jack s*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I saw it last night, and thought it was pretty good. Nothing hysterical about it, but like Zoolander, alot of parts that made you laugh, but nothing that made you laugh hard. I think they overdid the Ben Stiller stupid thing for example that "touche" scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I liked it a lot, would probably rank it my 2nd favorite Ben Stiller movie behind Meet the Parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox4lifeinPA Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 I liked it a lot, would probably rank it my 2nd favorite Ben Stiller movie behind Meet the Parents. I agree with that, but I thought it was more of a Vince Vaughn movie, which puts it in third on his list, behind Swingers and Old School. I want Vince to lead more comedies...Stiller needs to play the straight man, he's better at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Vince Vaughn is absolutely hilarious. I can't get enough of how he presents himself, and how he turns a meaningless "Hello" into a really funny scene. I agree, more comedies starring Vince Vaughn please.

sox4lifeinPA Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 If you want to see good Vince Vaugh, rent Swingers, Made, and obviously Old School. "Made" is a terrible movie and pits Vaughn as an idiot to John Favrou's funny man... it's not true Vince at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Is Swingers a good movie? It has its following. I didn't really care for it personally, but many others will disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Is Swingers a good movie? I didn't like it either. Maybe I'm biased against it because all the douchebags at my work started acting like minor-league idiot Xerox copies of Vince Vaughn, but that movie did nothing for me.

The Beast Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I hate half of any flicks that come out. Really the only ones I liked was American Pie's and American Wedding. Thats why I didn't see Dodgeball, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and The Matrix. (I hated the last three b/c I can't stand fantasy movies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Vince to lead more comedies...Stiller needs to play the straight man, he's better at that. Vince Vaughn is hillarious. Only good part about the 7th inning stretch at todays Cubs game. On a sidenote, Mulder is the s***. Was sitting behind home (lucked out on getting the tickets) and holy smokes was he filthy. I thought I was gonna get drilled by a bunch of fans when I decided to be a smart ass and yell Sosa sucks. After that I kept my mouth shut, LOL.

Cali Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 It was a lot better than I thought it would be. I was kinda "eh" about the trailers. Plus I was worried about Vince Vaughn playing the nice guy instead of the cocky sarcastic dick but he pulled it off. There were a lot of very subtle quick lines in the movie from the different characters. All the cameo's were great especially Lance Armstrong I also loved Jason Batman as the stoner guy announcer with the neck tattoo. Grat stuff, he always has really funny small roles in movies, gotta love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 That is my favorite part of the movie. I love the Vince Vaughn plays as the Hawks, and how he talks about Belfour, JR, and Steve Larmer. Didn't mention Bill Wirtz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I also loved Jason Batman as the stoner guy announcer with the neck tattoo. Grat stuff, he always has really funny small roles in movies, gotta love it. Jason Bateman is great as Michael Bluth in "Arrested Development." I hope they bring it back. That was a seriously underappreciated show, in a tough Sunday time slot up against whatever HBO heavy hitter (Curb/6 feet/Soppranos) was running. I thought it was easily the best-written network sitcom last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
