    i absolutely lLOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this movie i saw it when i was in junior high and it never got old to me, I love this movie. i know everyone likes dodge a wrench you can dodge a dodgeball ball but that's not my fav quote in the movie this is - Peter La Fleur: [after Patches hits Justin in the face with a wrench] Yeah, uh, Patches... are you sure that this is completely necessary? Patches O'Houlihan: Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? Peter La Fleur: Probably not. Patches O'Houlihan: No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste. Peter La Fleur: ...Okay. OR White Goodman: We should mate. Kate Veatch: What? White Goodman: Date! We should date some time. Socially. Go out and kick it. [Kate retches, then forces it down] White Goodman: Are you okay? Kate Veatch: I'm fine. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. White Goodman: In some cultures, they only eat vomit. I never been there, but I rea... Read more

    I also found something interesting during my visit to the Special Features. The first thing that you notice is that the layout of the section is Average Joes and the little scene off to the side is Justin's ever-hilarious attempt to catch Patches's dodge balls during training. However, look next to the balloon that says "resume film". You see a balloon that is Globo Gym's logo. Click it, and you are taken to a scene where the fat White Goodman says that every time he snaps his fingers in the movie, hit enter. It happens three times in the movie. 1. When White tries to seduce Kate in his office, 2. At the Dirty Sanchez, after White pushed the waitress onto the Average Joes's table, and lastly, 3. After Kate throws White against her door and he says "nobody makes me bleed in my own blood. Nobody!" After you press enter for the third time, you will be taken to the scene where White does his "Patented 'Peek-a-Boo'" dodge ball throw, then to the t.v in the Globo Gym building (the one where ...

    I won't repeat what many other people who liked this movie have said. That's why I'm giving it 5 stars. What I will mention is the fact that as soon as I put this Blu-ray movie in my Blu-Ray player, the menu loaded fine but selecting "play movie", "scene selection", or "special features" I was greeted with a blank tv scene. It wouldn't play at all no matter how long I waited or repeatedly tried to reload the disc.

    I saw this movie on an airplane, flying New York to Sao Paulo. A long flight, so I was ready for something lame to pass the time. I got it: something lame. Ben Stiller is the stupidest part of this movie: He doesn't deliver much comedy. He's a Johnny One-Note who made me tired after his first 30 seconds. The rest of the movie was passable. I would have given it 3 stars for being a pleasant way to survive a 10-hour, cramped and crowded flight. But Stiller was so boring, so pointless, so NON-funny, that I knocked the movie down to 1 star. I sense all his movies are like that: overblown, stupid, not funny. Which is too bad, because the supporting cast did OK.

    Dodgeball is another one of those ridiculous comedies that somehow ends up being really funny. I laughed my ass off when they mentioned ESPN 8, the Ocho, as it sounded like something my old roommate would have watched. For some reason, the line,"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball," really cracked me up as well.

    Worth sitting through the whole thing for the scene where Rip Torn as Patches O'Houlihan gets crushed by the neon sign that says "Luck O' The Irish". Later on Vince Vaughan remarks "They don't make a Sorry-your-coach-was-crushed-by-two-tons-of-irony Hallmark card".

    I went back and watched this again recently, and it wasn't as funny as I remembered. Still good but not 4-5 stars.

    DODGEBALL is kind of like passing wind in church; there's disbelief in having done it, and a derived guilty pleasure in getting away with it. So I still scold myself for having seen this movie (several times), yet walk away with a cheshire cat grin. Featuring low-brow Vince Vaughn as the hapless leader of Average Joe's Gym vs. ADD Ben Stiller as Vaughn's Globo-Gym nemesis, DODGEBALL is silly, morbid, redundant, and contrived--yet fun to watch. Vaughn's okay, Stiller bounces off the walls, and Rip Torn and Jason Bateman steal the show: Torn as dodgeball "legend" (and wheelchair-bound) Patches O'Houlihan; Bateman as a clueless TV color commentator on ESPN 8 (gotta love that dig on our culture's infatuation with all things sports). It's a goofball comedy that has its fair share of ribald humor and its fair share of insanity--and all with a plot a toddler could understand--yet DODGEBALL still delivers fun. And, after all, that's what a guilty pleasure does. --D. Mikels, Author, Wa... Read more

    Not exactly a comedic masterpiece. The bit with David Hasselhoff berating the german team, I think it was the german team, was pretty funny.

    Predictable, not very entertaining or memorable, except for the phrase "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball", and then they get wrenches thrown at them, which was at least original.
