Review
Dodgeball is silly slapstick comedy about a group of athletic misfits, led by gym owner Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn). They fall foul of a large rival fitness chain owned by White Goodman (Ben Stiller), who threatens to take over their gym and shut them down. There only chance to save the gym is by winning the prize money from a Lass Vegas Dodgeball tournament.

Light hearted, well paced comedy is the name of the game and who better to run the show than Ben Stiller who’s ever exaggerated characters and hairstyles are enough to reduce even the moodiest viewer to tears of laughter. His exuberant expression, comic timing, and superfluous over acting is always top entertainment and coupled with some decent lines as well its impossible to keep a straight face.

Vaughn plays up the straight, more sensible guy very well and levels the stupidity out to a more even keel. The supporting actors are also brought into the movie more as the story moves along, but the laughs are evenly enough distributed throughout the film in order to keep you constantly amused.

Very funny, very stupid, very entertaining.
