Some reasons:
1) I went to see it and enjoyed it, I like Stiller.
2) It is PG-13 and it was Father's Day weekend, so a possible older family movie
3) I work full time as a state law enforcement officer and Dodgeball made me laugh in a time where I get terror level increasing e-mails and more stress every day.
4) The female I was with did not want to see Riddick etc..., she wanted a comedy.
It is a good, easy no brainer laugh and for that it worked great.
It may be just what America needs a no brainer silly comedy!

Primarily because pretty much nothing is as hard as smart comedy. Dumb comedy's hard enough, smart drama's hard enough, but smart comedy...Sarigar said:We don't see smart comedies very often.

I've heard good things about The Terminal. My 12-year-old daughter unfortunately isn't interested in seeing it, so I won't see it until this weekend after she returns to my ex's care. From what I've heard The Terminal qualifies as both smart comedy and adult comedy, despite it's "G" rating. A movie doesn't have to be rated R to be adult entertainment.barsoomcore said:Dumb comedy's hard enough, smart drama's hard enough, but smart comedy...
Yikes. You don't get very many of those.

Of course, if the movie stinks, I'm just blowing smoke; so take this with a grain of salt.

Around the World in 80 Days is no more of a kids' movie than Dodge Ball. It's got lots of good Jackie Chan fighting action, a hot actress, and a reasonably charming lead.Enchantress said:If you look at the list of movies that are out right now, Dodgeball is the only adult comedy out right now. Everything else is basically meant for kids as well.
