Still, there a lot of great moments in the trailer- "I just threw up in my mouth a little", etc.

Which was first used in Austin Powers.

when?

I can remember it being said by Tim Meadows on SNL sometime in the early-mid 90s.  I think it was a talkshow sketch

when?

In the first one, when they're on the moon, Dr. Evil says it after his chair is done spinning him out of control.

[bonanzataz]

come on, mac! they don't go to the moon until the second one!

good call, though.

There's a new, longer trailer here that has some scenes we haven't seen before. Including Hank Azaria in a 50's black and white instructional film on dodgeball, talking in the voice of Walter Brennan for some reason.

I didnt know they were remaking BASEketball!!!

[ono]

ben stiller is going to get hit hard in the crotch. i know these things. some people say i have a sixth sense for what movies will do. i knew tom green was going to hump that moose. my friends were all surprised. they couldn't believe i called it so fast. i had never even seen the show either. i also knew gandhi and malcolm x were going to die. man, they had it coming though, didn't they? and my friends were like, 'oh we knew that' and i'm like 'oh yeah, how could you know that' and they said, 'we read it in our history books'. man i laughed sooo hard. i was like, 'how could you read it in a history book? spike lee wrote the screenplay!!"

i have a migraine now. i'm going to take a nap.

This guy is funny.

And this movie is probably gonna be hilarious.  By all logic it shouldn't be.  It should be awful.  But yeah, I'm oddly looking forward to it.

Judging by the commercials, the film will not be very good.  I hope most of the jokes aren't along the lines of throwing a wrench at someone's head and a fat girl falling on someone.  Gee, come to think of it I really don't like most of Ben Stiller's films.

About 40% more subtlety, and this might have been a comic masterpiece. But it doesn't know when to stop sometimes. A great joke will be dragged on and killed, even with humor-enducing music.

They really missed huge opportunities to be more visually creative, a la Zoolander. I was expecting more eye candy... I mean, it's dodgeball...

The plot may be a joke in itself, but it's the most cliché and unimaginative waste of a story I've seen in a long time. Other than that, it was okay.

There are some classic lines and delicious awkwardness, and it has some fantastic character names... White Goodman, Patches O'Houlihan, Cotton McKnight, Pepper Brooks...

But I agree with LA Weekly.... "loads up on plenty of tired, male-identified, low-comedy standbys, including homosexual panic, fat girls and racial caricatures."

And... stay after the credits.

I snuck into it after The Terminal, and thought it was well worth the money I didn't pay for it. It ain't Zoolander, but it's got some good laughs. Gary Cole and the other announcer were hilarious.

[El Duderino]

i saw it earlier and i actually thought it was pretty good. the first 20 minutes were very so/so, but after that, it was laugh after laugh. SPOILERS and the unicorn thing made my day /SPOILERS. i'd go see it if you want to laugh

[Jeremy Blackman]

So... opinions on the thing after the credits?

[El Duderino]

if you're talking about the ben stiller thing...i laughed my ass off, but i left after that
