Movie Review: Dodgeball

THE funniest movie I've ever seen. Go see it NOW!

Synopsis

Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughn) owns a run down gym, a safe haven for the town's misfits. When he realizes his gym is in jeopardy of closing, and Globo Gym's owner, White Goodman, plans on making his gym into a parking lot for his own corporate and heartless corporation, he and his friends make a decision to enter in a dodge ball tournament in Las Vegas.

...so it's a simple plot. Get over it, it's still hilarious!

Which Characters I Enjoyed

Each character had his or her place in this film. I'm not going to dwell on the characters this time, because they really all were fantastic.



The one who did stand out, however, was Ben Stiller as White Goodman. Stiller always manages to play a different character as hilarious as the last, and this was no exception. I couldn't imagine he could be so drastically different from his role in Zoolander, but he accomplished it, and at times I even forgot it was him. AMAZING!

Why This Movie Kicked Ball



Exactly that. Sexual inuendos and random script features made Dodge Ball a comedy classic. From the tag line that everyone will be saying, "Joanie loves Chachi!", to crazy ramblings by Gordon, played by Stephen Root, this movie was hilarious from start to finish. Patches O'Houlihan (Rip Torn), the team's coach, blurts out crazy profanities which you'd think would be offensive and grotesque, but I was laughing so hard at those alone that my cheeks hurt lol.

Overall

An absolutely remarkable movie, one of the best of the summer. However, they messed up the pirate character in the end... go watch it and you'll know what I mean.
