The TVI Take

Rawson Marshall Thurber's 2004 Vince Vaughn / Ben Stiller film whose mockumentary register and ESPN-Ocho framing committed to sports-comedy parody at unusually disciplined level. Stiller's White Goodman is the rare antagonist performance whose narcissism is the actual subject.

The Patches O'Houlihan training sequences are sustained physical-comedy work.
