Dodgeball is not very funny.

However, I thought Stiller gave one of his funnier performances as White Goodman (the self-torture with nipple clamps while tempting himself with a doughnut... that will stay with me for some time). I'm a huge fan of Vince Vaughn, and he was good here -- but I think he was a bit underutilized. I suppose I just couldn't place with the best sports comedies. Major League, in my opinion, works much better as an overall movie -- you really want the Indians and its players to win in the end -- whereas in Dodgeball, you know it's all about the slapstick. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Very good movie overall.
