A Dysfunctional Family of Five Reviews...DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story!

Christ, haven't we seen enough of Ben Stiller this year? Between Along Came Polly, Starsky and Hutch, and Envy, and now DodgeBall, we're kind of getting sick of him. C'mon, Ben, you've gotta go away before we can start missing you!

Dad: Ah, dodgeball, the sport of kings! Let the games be-OOOFF!

Mom: [After hurling ball at Dad's crotch from five feet away] See, honey, that's how you do it! Collegiate state champs, three years straight! Gooooooooooo Banana Slugs!

Sis: I'm so glad they banned this stupid game from my school. I have enough guys trying to hit me with balls as it is.

Bro: [Vomited after laughing uncontrollably during the movie, due to repeated scenes of people being hit in the groin by various objects. Held overnight to ensure proper re-hydration.]

Baby: Ask any pediatrician - slapstick is a baby's favorite when it comes to comedy. But even I get worn down after a while. Sure, there're other laughable bits in here, but I can't say it's any more inventive than that old classic, BASEketball. Now, that movie was a true underdog story.

Verdict: It's Ben Stiller's best movie this year. But it's still only worth a rental.
