Dodgeball
 

Just got back from the movie. I had quite a lot of laughs! Some slow parts, but all in all it was worth seeing for sure. The entire theater had a good vibe, everyone seemed to be loving it!

Gets my recomendation ;)

I'll probably go tonight, as the reviews look pretty good.

As I posted in the "Rate the last movie you saw" thread:

Dodgeball: A Underdog Story

4.5 / 5

That movie had me laughing so many times I lost track, WELL worth the 6.50$ opening price!

Of course, the comparisons will be made to old school, but this is pretty good. Vince Vaughn does a pretty good job of playing the average guy straight man. Plus, there are a few cameos.

I want to see this very badly... Almost enough to take a kick in the balls with the 13.50 movie price... ouch!

Spoiler: Fuckin Chuck Norris!

Whoa man! 13.50? I hope you have a girlfriend and you're buying her ticket for her, or else... man... I don't think I could go to the movies if it cost that much for one ticket.

How does it compare to Zoolander?

Better, even, not as good?

I LOVE Zoolander. Definitely one of my most favorite comedies ever! The movie looks like it has those certain moments.. for example, the previews show Stiller blurting out "Joanie loves CHACHI!".. I can totally see this movie having those Zoolander-type moments.

Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Will Ferrell need to team up again. They're a damn funny combination.

What the hell? Thats literally OVER two times the cost here...

Sheesh, you Sir are getting ripped off.

We are talking USD correct?

CAD

and there are cheaper theaters, but they are the old style with crappy uncomfortable seats and no leg room

These are Famous Players theaters, and I only go and see movies that I know 100% will have the best experience on the big screen.... Or else I'll download them or wait for the DVD.

This movie is really funny, and was better than I expected. Ben Stiller is awesome in it, but I was a little dissappointed in Vince Vaughn's performance, I don't know about you guys. It seems as if the potential for his character was not quite tapped.

yep CAD 13.50 for the high quality cineplex odeon seats that recline and are cushy and lots of room.

the first and last time I was in New York city for Fleet Week '98 (great time to be in Dress Whites :D ) the ticket price to see Godzilla was somthing like $10-12+. Damn painful when you are used to $4-5 at the most with the military discount in Florida, and even more painful after the film started. :hmm:
I also paid a similar amount at an older and more intimate theatre for Gwyneth Paltrow's Sliding Doors which was worth every penny and one of the best overall I have seen in awhile.

As another Zoolander fan, I'd say this is a funny movie but doesn't hold quite up to Zoolander. Vince Vaughn doesn't quite make up for the lack of Owen Wilson/Will Ferrell. I'd still suggest going to see it though.

Our Famous Players have capped their prices at $10.50 now, but no more cheap Tuesdays :\ I remember the good ol' days, of 30cents a litre gas and $5.00 movies.

I thought Dodgeball was hillarious. The cameos are priceless and Ben Stiller is awesome.

He's a great "Jokey Joke-maker"

I loved it, laughed my ass off the whole time.

it was hillarious...I found it to be a dash of Zoolander and another of Old School jokes...good recipe.

Just got back from seeing it. I really liked it. Jason Bateman cracked me up.:lol:

I just watched this movie last night, liked it very much. I didn't like the ending though....

I thought it was pretty funny. A good, light-hearted comedy. Can't wait for Anchorman.

I just got back from seeing this movie tonight and I loved it,
couldn't stop laughing.

Speed Gibson, currently the price for a movie ticket here in NYC is $10.25 (manhattan) (of course if you need to buy tickets online, don't forget the $1.50/ticket surcharge).

I need to go see this ist looks funny as hell

Fucking Chuck Norris

ho

ly

shit


this ranks as one of my top three comedies of all time.... wow... fuck

awesome

im still laughing

just saw the trailer ... if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball *BLAM*

GREAT STUFF :D

Your theaters aren't doing the $9.95 tickets? The Famous Players in Ottawa are ... sucky part is that even the matinees are $9.95.

Regarding the movie:
Saw it yesterday, still laughing today. I'll be getting this one on DVD for sure. I recommend it to anyone who needs a good laugh.

I can't wait for the DVD...I loved the movie, and the cameos just made it better...

famous players around here rolled thier prices back to 7.50 cad at the silver citys i go to

you're lucky

My nephews loved this movie.

I laughed like a fucking idiot when I saw this movie

Spoiler: fuckin' Chuck Norris

you werent the only one

I was hysterical

I got a lot of laughs out of Dodgeball. There were a lot of high-quality bad-taste jokes there, of the type that only good writers can do, and a lot of satire. The black-and-white instructional film on dodge ball had me on the floor. I had to sit through films like that back in school, and I guess a lot of other people did, too!

So, can anybody tell me how Dodgeball compares to Anchorman? The preview didn't impress me, but there are a lot of guys over on some other thread raving about it.
