Oh man, do I love this movie. I realize I say that about 90% of the comedies on the movie wall, but I can't help it, I love to laugh. And Ben Stiller in this movie, and all his priceless one-liners, really make me laugh.
As I like to say whenever appropriate, "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood."
I think that says it all.
But then there's Rip Torn and his quotable dodgeball coaching sessions ("If you can dodge traffic, you can dodge a ball.") I'm not sure how helpful they really are, but they're hillarious.
The movie as a whole follows a predictable trajectory... evil guy tries to stomp out good guy, good guy triumphs after much strife and turmoil. But if you need a good laugh, and some light subject matter to occupy you for a few minutes, pop this DVD in and enjoy.
After all, Chuck Norris gives it a thumbs up.
This one's really grown on me over time, I have to admit.
