Transcript of Featured Review

We are reviewing the movie Dodgeball starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller. To me this is probably the funniest movie Ben Stiller movie I have ever although it's not really a Ben Stiller you know vehicle it's just kind of you know he's actually kind of a just part in the movie. But you know the basic plot of it is you know Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn play opposing gym owners so you know Vince Vaughn's being the average Joes gym it's just pretty small and pretty decrepit and older facility but you know it's got a lot of heart you know. I would say you know and Ben Stiller plays the rich mega corporate gym you know about really rich people you know really nice type you know sleek stylish you know that kind of thing where it's only for skinny people you know. It's the evil you know corporate kind of thing. You know and basically he is trying to buy out the land of average Joes and they decide to enter the volleyball tournament dodgeball tournament sorry. A dodgeball tournament to win the prize money to keep their gym and of course Ben Stiller has to you know enter it as well with his team and you now dodgeball ensues basically it's got a really nice cameo by Rip Torn playing their trainer. You know for a Vince Vaughn's team. You know it's a funny movie. I'm really really doubt that I'm gonna like every Ben Stiller movie that I see but you know this one's actually pretty decent. You know it's just kind of a nice goof you know in sports movies you know that kind of thing that doesn't take itself too seriously. In this film it's DVD collection itself doesn't include a whole lot of special features. It does have a audio commentary by Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn and Marsha Derber the director. It's got some deleted and extended scenes you know some gag reels you know that kind of stuff. It does have an alternate ending you know which is pretty funny. And a gag reel. You know there is not it's what you'd expect for a normal DVD comedy of this type you know as far as special features go. You know check it out if you are a Vince Vaughn or Ben Stiller fan you know if you just like comedy.

Summary
How's this for impressive trivia: Dodgeball faced off against The Terminal in opening-weekend competition, and 29-year-old writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber aced Steven Spielberg by a score of $30 to $18.7 in box-office millions. That's no mean feat for a newcomer, but Thurber's lowbrow script and rapid-fire direction--along with a sublime cast of screen comedians--proved to be just what moviegoers were ravenous for: a consistently hilarious, patently formulaic romp in which the underdog owner of Average Joe's Gym (Vince Vaughn) faces foreclosure unless he can raise $50,000 in 30 days. The solution: A dodgeball tournament offering $50K to the winners, in which Vaughn and his nerdy clientele team up against the preening, abhorrently narcissistic owner (Ben Stiller) of Globo Gym, who's threatening a buy-out. That's it for story; any 5-year-old could follow it with brainpower to spare. But Thurber, Vaughn, Stiller, and their well-cast costars (including Stiller's off-screen wife, Christine Taylor) keep the big laughs coming for 96 nonsensical minutes. With spot-on cameos by champion bicyclist Lance Armstrong, David Hasselhoff, Hank Azaria, Chuck Norris, and William Shatner, and a crudely amusing coda for those who watch past the credits, Dodgeball is no masterpiece, but you can bet Spielberg was unexpectedly humbled by its popular appeal. --Jeff Shannon
