This was a pretty good comedy and typical of the humor used by stars Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. The movie starts off with Vaughn and Stiller as fitness gym owners in close proximity to each other. Vaughn's gym is pretty run-down and in deep financial debt and about to be taken over by Stiller's more "high-class" gym. He has to come up with $50,000 to pay him off. Fortunately, Vaughn has a devoted group of regulars, and one of them finds a dodgeball tournament in Vegas, and one guess how much the big prize is worth? Of course they enter it! So does Stiller and his gym of devotees.My favorite scenes were the ones with the girl scouts, the uniform mixup, and the final showdown and the final scenes. This was pretty funny fare mostly all the way through. You might like it if you are a comedy fan and like the stars. The tournament scenes were terrific!** 1/2 out of ****

Sure, this movie is not consistently funny, but there are several really funny jokes in the movie, as well as several other funny jokes. The jokes are inconsistent, but they are overall good.The jokes are mixed bag.

Dodgeball is a movie about a group of misfits that enter a tournament to save their gym. Timing is everything in a comedy, so the editing in this film was very important, and they nailed it. I liked Vince Vaughn's character, for once he's not the prick or douche in a movie. Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller have a great chemistry. Their stature difference is also very funny. The movie has many classic comedic moments like the car wash or their first match with the girl scouts or the suitcase with a million dollars. Justin Long has one of the funniest slapstick moments. One of my favorite ones is the wrench thrown at him. It gets me every time. Hank Azaria as young Patches was genius casting. Though casting Christine Taylor as the girl that played better than everyone else was a bit cliché. There were awesome cameo appearances by Jason Bateman, David Hasselhoff, Lance Armstrong, William Shatner, Chuck Norris, and many more!Overall, it was a very fun movie and a comedy classic. 7/10

White Goodman (Ben Stiller) is a raging douche and owner of Globo Gym. Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughn) is a slob and the owner of Average Joe's Gymnasium. Peter LaFleur needs $50,000 or else he'll lose his gym to Goodman. LaFleur and the slackers at his gym figure on winning a dodgeball tournament. Goodman forms his own team to stop LaFleur.This is a stupid comedy. It's the good kind of stupid. We're allowed to laugh at the stupidity. That's a gift in the comedy world. Ben Stiller goes way out there as the amped up physical fitness guru. He has a good scene pawing his real life wife Christine Taylor. Even the dodgeball scenes are great. This is great slapsticks.
