(1 - 43) of 43 OFCS Rating: 70% Fresh Page   1   "Utilizes every cliche ever kicked around in any sports movie to comedic advantage."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari 2/10 "In this goofball sportsfilm spoof there is something for everyone to laugh at - but a few too many cringeworthy own-goals."   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel A- "Silly, outlandish, and an all-around good time at the movies."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Let the grudgy, gross-out, and basically banal competition begin."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/5 "Oh, the movie’s not too bright, but I couldn’t stop laughing, and that’s the point, right?"   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius A- "No matter what you read elsewhere, don’t dodge this flick; it’s by far the funniest movie thus far of 2004."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 3/4 "...silly, illogical and downright brainless fluff that, for one reason or another, manages to be both funny and charismatic all the way through."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 3/4 "...silly fun..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "A crude comedy that aims low and hits its mark."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 5/10 "Anyone expecting to find something deep and meaningful in DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY should look somewhere else."   Draxblog Movie Reviews   Dragan Antulov 2.5/4 "For viewers who just want to laugh for 90 minutes without having to think too much, the no-holds-barred Dodgeball will happily do the trick."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B "That there even exists a movie called Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, and that it has sportscasters named Cotton McKnight and Pepper Brooks, makes me happy inside."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "It’s nearly impossible to watch Vaughn in Dodgeball and not be reminded of the early days of Bill Murray."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "The screenplay's wit is genuinely impressive."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "In the end it just felt like we were being told one long joke but were never given the punchline."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 3/4 "However foolish Thurber’s premise may be, it has goofy-inspired gumption and you have to respect his motive for overseeing such intentional stupidity"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B- "As juvenile and lowbrow as the game itself, but it's surprisingly funny...if you give it a chance you may finding yourself laughing a lot more than you'd expect."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/4 "Offers about 90 minutes of laughter (although the movie runs out of steam during its final third)."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "much funnier than any movie about dodgeball has a right to be"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Underachieving comedy is a great parody -- and the best smart-stupid laugh we've had in a long time."   Netflix   James Rocchi 7/10 "It almost feels like a dare: laugh at this, even though we all know this is totally dumb."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 5/10 "This is no Zoolander, folks."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/4 "The jokes fly as wildly as the titular sports gear, landing solidly more often than you'd expect thanks to a fast-paced script and a cast of good-natured misfits led by Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 71/100 "This is funny stuff, not quite on par with Zoolander, but well worth a look."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 7/10 "...it's got enough laughs in its ninety-odd minutes to justify the time spent on it, which is more than can be said for most recent comedies out of Hollywood."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Zoolander fans will love every minute of this movie. The rest of us can wait until it comes out on video."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4/5 "Dodgeball, I am shocked to say, rewards you for paying attention. It also rewards you for having totally juvenile sensibility, so it's really win win."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/4 "Slapstick isn’t dead; it just took until now for someone to realize that being hit in the face with a dodgeball is a lot funnier than a cream pie."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson "[A]bsurd without being absurdist, preposterous but pointlessly so..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/5 "The biggest laughs come from a cameo, which is never a good sign."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "The fusion of violence and silliness makes dodgeball a great subject for a sports comedy, and the Vaughn/Stiller team is casting perfection."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "Less in the "wow, that's funny" category than the "I can't believe they tried that," as when a uniform mix-up has the Average Joes appearing at a match in bondage gear."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "Thurber seems oblivious to the hypocrisy of mocking our image-conscious society while simultaneously making fun of the film’s oddball loser characters."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Provavelmente já terá sido esquecido daqui a um ano - o que não quer dizer que não funcione como um passatempo divertido e descompromissado enquanto dura a projeção."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca "I actually found myself laughing quite a bit during 'Dodgeball' - more than enough times to recommend it to anyone in a silly sort of mood."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 2/5 "It helps to have energetic and gifted actors, but you really need to give them funnier things to do and say."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "The film wants only to pit its common-man heroes against a bunch of colorful, laughable adversaries, and achieves this goal admirably."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C+ "Entertaining and funny, despite being loaded with clichés and groin humor."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 5/5 "Yep, a full five stars. I loved every last frame of this inspired little sports comedy."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B- "There's nothing new to the old game except snazzy outfits, slick accoutrements and better banter, but like his misfit heroes, Thurber aims low and hits his mark."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker C+ "Half of Dodgeball is very funny. The other half has Ben Stiller in it."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell 6/10 "This crazed sports spoof is silly, stupid and only intermittently funny. I'd advise waiting for the video."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 3.5/4 "Sort of reminds of The Saddest Music in the World, if only Guy Maddin had a sense of humour about himself."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 43) of 43 OFCS Rating: 70% Fresh Page   1
