dodgeball, 2004
peter - vince vaughn. liked his character - reminded me of taylor. low-key, laid back, good head on shoulders, quick wit.
white goodman - ben stiller. pretty much an ass. didn't know how to talk, or make much sense.
kate - christine taylor. rather pretty, but of the typical blond haired-blue eyes variety.
jason bateman, chuck norris, david hasselhoff, star trek dude cameos.
pretty random bunch of people.
game of dodge ball - 6 players. is the international championships really in vegas?
interesting the alternate ending was the real ending. i like the movie ending - they win out big. the bisexual part was disturbing though.
director - rawson marshall thurber. 1st time. he looks rather stiff. a comedy snob. getting hit in the testicles and head are funny. people like watching other people's pain. the movie looks good - crisp, well-done spoof.

Vincent Anthony Vaughn
was born on March 28, 1970, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA and raised in Lake Forest, Illinois, USA.
His parents were Vernon Vaughn, a salesman, and Sharon Vaughn, a real-estate agent and stockbroker. They would later divorce in 1991. He also has two older sisters named Victoria and Valerie. Vince was interested in theater early on and grabbed a spot in a Chevy commercial. Figuring he was set, he packed his bags and headed for Hollywood only to become a struggling actor losing role after role. He managed to hit a few spots on television, but his real goal was to make it to the big screen. He made his first credited role in the film Rudy (1993) where he met friend Jon Favreau who was writing a script detailing his life as an out-of-work actor. Vince was written into Swingers (1996) by Jon to play the character of Trent. Vince signed on just as a favor to his buddy, not realizing it would be a career changing role. Though not a commercial success, it was a critical success in which Steven Spielberg saw him and cast him in the big budget sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997). This role would give Vince the exposure he needed to become a movie star and for the first time choose the roles he wanted to take. _Cool Dry Place, A (1998)_ put him as a loving father, Return to Paradise (1998) cast him as a man having to make a life or death decision to save a friend, and Clay Pigeons (1998) cast him as an interesting serial killer. He even was cast as Norman Bates for the shot-for-shot remake of _Pyscho (1998)_ . In 2000, he starred in _The Cell (2000)_ opposite 'Jennifer Lopez' .
someone mentioned the german team and hasselhoff in the shuttle back to the city tower (candidate in bay watch episode). really wanted to watch something to diffuse the tension of interview, not making it to C's shindig. this did the trick. glad i rented it instead of _sweet home alabama_.
