I thought it was overrated when it came out which is weird because I am -- AbsolutVT03 May 06, 2026 at 03:38 PM ET

I love Dodgeball as well. But Stiller was a supporting actor and villain -- Tafkam Hokie May 06, 2026 at 04:32 PM ET

It’s a Top 5 all-time comedy imo. Pat Healy is in the comic heel HOF. -- RoswellGAHokie May 06, 2026 at 12:19 PM ET

The zipper scene was definitely "cringe funny." -- EDGEMAN May 06, 2026 at 11:10 AM ET
