    Take it from someone who can still feel the hollow rubber tang! of old dodgeball scars: It feels great to be blindsided by a little movie like this.

    Unpretentious, unsophisticated and all the better for it.
  3. Nobody eviscerates the scary depths of male narcissism with such ferocity, and it is a huge relief to find Mr. Stiller flexing his oiled, low-comedy triceps with such vengeful glee.

    Stiller, a DodgeBall producer, is revealing an unfortunate craving for the cheese of his childhood.

  3. This movie is stupid but in a good way that will keep you glued to the screen.

    Faecal, even for a Ben Stiller film. He has really crossed the line from mildly amusing to tiresome and completely uninventive. Not worth any credit.
