Without a doubt one of the funniest movies I've seen. Back in the day when I was young me and my mom had no cable. But we definitely had a few DVDs we could watch, and Dodgeball was one of those few. We watched this movie over and over some days. And laughed just as much every single time. Vince Vaughn plays the chill and very humble owner of Average Joe's Gym and Ben Stiller plays the uptight, very ignorant fitness freak, White Goodman. Their on screen rivalry alone will make the movie worth the watch.
Back to back laughs is how I'd describe my experience watching this movie. Ben Stiller is more hilarious in this movie than I've seen him in most movies honestly. His character, White Goodman, bares a strange resemblance to a character that he played in the movie "Heavy Weights" from the 90s. I thought that was pretty funny. Another hilarious character that just won't stop making you laugh is Patches O'Houlihan, played by Rip Torn. He's a washed up, drunk, dirty old ex-dodgeball star in a wheel chair. The lessons he teaches to the team are at times confusing and always incredibly hilarious. Even when he explains the 5 D's of Dodgeball; Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge. 5/5 if you love comedy, watch this movie.
