June 18th, and who isn't excited?

Two reviews up thus far, one positive, one not.

With Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Rip Torn and Jason Bateman, how can it go wrong?!

I just hope the best jokes aren't in the trailer.

Its another "stupid" comedy so theres gonna be people who think they are just above the humour, but im totally excited about it, should be a great laugh to watch with friends.

I'm not crazy about all of Stiller's work, but I've been a big Vince Vaughn fan ever since Swingers hit theaters, so I'll likely see it this weekend. I crack a grin every time I see/hear Rip Torn barking out the "if you can dodge a wrench" line and whacking Justin Long in the face.

I REALLY want this to be good... obviously, it's going to be a lot of stupid humor. Hopefully, it's another Zoolander. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'd really love this to be good, considering I like the talent involved and I love dodgeball. The trailers don't have me overly enthused, but I'm still optimistic. I'll likely be there this weekend.

You guys should've heard Stiller on the Today show this morning. Nailing his own wife in the face isn't a good way to score brownie points with here.

She could also be recognized as being in the movie that everyone is discussing in this thread. And just about every other Ben Stiller movie.

Or the slutty sister in the Wedding Singer.

Ben Stiller looks hilarious in this movie. He's easily at his best when he plays eccentric characters.

I think i'm going to have to check this movie out. It just looks so funny. And the character reminds me of Stiller in Heavyweights the movie. So i'm all up for that.

Ben Stiller may play the same asshole repeatedly, but it's a good one. Don't forget Happy Gilmore.

"You can trouble me for a warm glass of shut the hell up! Now you will go to sleep or I will put you to sleep. Check out the name tag. You're in my world now, grandma."

I'm not too interested in this movie. I think Ben Stiller has really been over-exposed lately, and as a result I'm getting sick of him.

Heh. Google Image Search told me the same thing when I tried to find a picture of him in Happy Gilmore.

Images from Google News about Ben Stiller
Is Ben Stiller wearing out his welcome?

I want it to be good, but after seeing how incredibly mediocre and joke-free Starsky & Hutch was I'm a bit leery.

Maybe after Something About Mary and Meet the Parents I have my expectations too high for him.
