Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

[ROC]

Okay, who else is looking forward to this? Two more weeks until it opens.

This movie looks like every other Ben Stiller movie (read: shitty). He's got his Zoolander voice and schtick again. I hope Ben Stiller retires soon, or at least stops making movies with the same gimmick and cast all the time.

The Zoolander voice was low-pitch and gay.

I like to think of his character in this movie as his character in Heavyweights, Tony Perkis.

Yes, but at least he ain't the same down and out guy he hasn't been in his past six films (excluding S&H). And this film has Vince Vaughn, too. Almost any film with Vaughn deserves at least one viewing.

EDIT: And he definitely doesn't act like Zoolander in this.

The Royal Tenenbaums is the only Stiller movie I've actually enjoyed.

[naiwf]

What I meant by his Zoolander schtick is the character is a complete and utter moron. That whole line with "I'm not as dumb as you think I thought I once was", or whatever it actually is, just reminded me when he was explaining about the Derek Zoolander school that teaches kids to read.

This isn't a Ben Stiller starring vehicle, he's just the villain. Vaughny is the star of the movie, and he's perhaps the most talented comedic actor out there. His deadpan delivery is absolute gold.

Yes, though, I like Vaughn better is the villain myself. His lines in Old School are genuis.

[Guest TheTokenWhiteGuy]

I know I'm looking forward to this movie, from what I've seen.

Looks like it'll be the same case as with Zoolander, Old School and Starsky & Hutch, and above average stupid comedy. I'm looking forward to it as well.

Just thought I'd be helpful and point out that the trailer can be found here.

[Guest Sean O'Haire]

I saw the commercial for this today when I woke up, it looks awesome. Don't hate on Stiller...Meet the Parents was good.

Just watched the trailer again. (I've seen it at least three times) It is still hilarious to watch. Also, (off-topic but slightly relevant) I watched that old Nickelodeon show with Christine Taylor on it. Honestly, she was pretty hot then, too.

[Guest TheKarnivalShow]

I was watching the trailer the other day and can someone clear this up for me but is Jason Alexander in this movie? It looks like he is when Vince Vaughn's team is standing together in a line but the shot is only for about a second.

[Psicosis]

Looks like a brainless comedy. Good to enjoy when you don't want to think.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Forget Kill Bill, Kill Ben. Jeez. How much you wanna bet here in a few months he'll be "out" and some other half-decent, overrated actor will be "in"?

He's already had two hit comedies this year, so I'm doubting he'll be "out" anytime soon, even with the debacle that was Envy.

That's exactly why I'm going to see it.

Nothing beats Caddyshack in the brainless comedy department though.

To be fair, most of his movies get pushed back quite a lot....I'm surprised this one hasn't.

That could be the reason he hits everyone in quick spurts with his movies.

[TheReaper316]

I agree that he tends to play the same type of roles, but I like his movies regardless. I guess maybe he's not a good "actor" per say, but hes funny. Meet The Parents, Something About Mary, Zoolander are good.
