[@JessAndTess]

What's your favorite Ben Stiller movie? Jess' would have to be Zoolander... Tropic Thunder is also pretty great...

[@abducteeofearth1703]

“There’s something about Mary” is top tier. Meet the Parents Meet the Fockers (hopefully KZbin understands that’s the title of a movie) Along Came Polly Starsky and Hutch (remake)

[@josephblumenberg6574]

Tower Heist! Super underrated and a great one to watch around Thanksgiving!

[@JessAndTess]

Been a LONG time since I've seen "There's something about Mary".

[@JessAndTess]

Never even heard of "Tower Heist"

[@synthwolfe8906]

Meet the Fockers is definitely my favorite!

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

Alan Tudyk is one if the most underrated actors ever. A knights tale, firefly, dodgeball, he always has a supporting role but always steals the show.

[@JessAndTess]

Tess really enjoyed Firefly. Jess has never seen it

[@skarlottt]

When I watched a knights tale. I thought he was English. He's an amazing voice actor

[@AutoPilate]

He's amazing in the first season of Doom Patrol.

[@Nephzi]

Don't leave out Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

[@Lost_n_Found_1]

He's really good as the lead in Resident Alien.

[@58lukum]

Seeing someone enjoy this movie that is from a TOTALLY different generation from when this movie was released is so awesome!!!!

[@douggaijin]

I worked at an international company whose large headquarters was used as a location for this movie. The Globogym is actually the front lobby of the company. After the movie wrapped up, Ben Stiller went around to every department and thanked all the employees for putting up with the production and apologized for any inconvenience. Great guy.

[@JessAndTess]

Whoa! That's a cool story. Would certainly make work more interesting

[@BQis4me]

Evelyn not knowing what elbow grease is was hilarious! 😂

You should bring her in for the comedies. It is fun watching you two enjoy a laugh together. Reminds me of me and my daughters when I had them watch Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

[@shinra6913]

47:03 - that double glance at being told she's grounded was such subtle physical comedy. XD it's so wholesome seeing you two just enjoying movies.

[@MultiSweeney1]

About the same age I was when I first watched Dodgeball, and I can safely say that my reactions were pretty similar.

[@Fxcloud9]

She has so much personality and acts so natural. I only just discovered this channel from recent the Happy Gilmore video with her. Evalyn should be a staple for the channel. As a father of a 12 and 11 year old her reactions bring me great joy.

[@hewiex]

Great dad, great daughter, great movie. Thumbs up! 👍

[@JessAndTess]

Thanks so much

[@ryanboutr7756]

Love these reactions with your kid, shes very smart and youre a good father. Keep up the good work dude 👍

[@redoctober25]

Your description of ESPN: The Ocho was spot on.. but you missed the most important part. Typically once a year (one weekend in the spring), ESPN 2 turns into “The Ocho” for a weekend. Sure, you have the standard Dodgeball and such… but in the past they’ve had… Corgi Racing, Paper Airplane Championships, Microsoft Excel Championships, Power Sander Racing, Pillow Fighting, Tag, and much much more. It’s oh so spectacular 😂

[@Towelgravy]

28:35 Hey man I'm 36 and I've watched this movie 47 times and I have never understood that joke at all. I'm not a sports guy. Thanks for the explanation! Learn something new every day.

[@Lilpenguino1028]

Evalyn being baffled by Curling in the Olympics was a great moment lol.

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

This is arguably one of the best sports films of all time imo. It's one of the few that I can rewatch repeatedly and never get bored of. XD

[@Martman5150]

THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY was quite moving and amazing.

[@Khay-77]

If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball. So absurd but so great. Tropic Thunder is my favorite Ben Stiller movie for sure, just a perfect movie.

[@JessAndTess]

Tropic Thunder might be my 2nd favorite Ben Stiller movie outside of Zoolander

Miss Evalyn comes in to save the day so you don't have to fly solo and you call her " dead weight " ? This young lady is comedy gold.

[@Rezman602]

Jess! You should totally keep introducing your daughter to all of the classic comedies. Yes, bring back Tess (for any R ratings) but this is very refreshing as I also love introducing my generations culture to my daughter. Loved it so much, that I just Subscribed! Love watching the show through her perspective!

[@lockrobster7928]

Love seeing your daughter's reaction again. It is always so refreshing to see young people watch the "classics". I hope you find a way to continue this enjoyable dad and daughter reacts somehow. 😊

Would honestly love for you to react to Heavyweights with Evalyn. If you haven't seen it yourself, it's a 90's Disney movie where Ben Stiller plays a similar role to this one. You two can chime in on which role was better 😄

Ben playing idiot villains is top notch and Heavyweights is practically a White Goodman origin story 🤣🤣🤣

[@IggyStardust1967]

Couple days late seeing this, but I hope you read this one. When I was a kid back in the 1970s, we lived on a street with a hill. We tried playing Dodgeball in the alley between blocks... but if the ball got passed the lowest kid on the hill, it was GONE. How did we deal with this problem? Simple. We used Frisbees. But let me tell you something... if you think a rubber dodgeball to the face stings, you need to catch a Frisbee between the eyes. You might think it's easier, but it's not. Also, we played Dodgeball in school a lot back then. While I wasn't the most athletic kid there, I did reasonably well. I was never the first kid "out". I honestly miss those days.

[@redoctober25]

Just FYI… at this very moment… ESPNews is running competitions from past “Ocho” broadcasts… like the 2023 Wisconsin Auctioneer Championship, OneWheel Racing, OmegaBall Invitational, and TurfWars Kickball Tournament.

[@maurer3d]

44:00 This movie was made around the time all the Chuck Norris Jokes started to become popular. Chuck Norris once went to the Virgin Islands, after he left they had to rename the Virgin Islands, now they are just called The Islands. Chuck Norris once got hit by a bus, He was the only Survivor. Chuck Norris once kicked an immovable object, it resulted in the big bang.

If you're not athletic you're likely not going to enjoy this game. There's a perfect example of someone who won't enjoy this game in the explanatory video (the small kid with glasses).

Good movie, good reaction. :) Well, if she comes back/mainstays more often I'd be tempted to come back too. Seeing a 12 (for now) year old getting a (hopefully) good cinematic education is interesting. ;p Some (great reaction) movies like Terminator, The Thing, Shindlers List should be acceptable for a 12 year old thats raised properly. I mean there's 18-30 year olds out there that are better off not watching those cause they cray cray.

[@RoGueNavy]

"If you can dodge traffic, you can didge a ball!" Sounds like a video game called "Frogger"!

[@IcyTorment]

45:00 "Get down, Mr. President!" That reaction definitely aged well. Or poorly, I'm not sure.

[@bidwell13]

12:16 why take the nets down? It makes more challenging. Listening to your story about dodgeball with your friends made me think of the movie TAG. It’s based on a group of friends that one month out of the year they play tag and the world is their play area. 12:32 he’s almost 6’7” about two inches taller than Vince Vaughn. 13:10 knowing they’re married makes watching what she does to him so funny. 31:44 the other question is why did the bondage group put on Average Joe’s uniforms. 43:28 I never noticed before the bondage group is in the audience sitting next to Amber the Cheerleader supporting Average Joes.

[@duzzitmatter8679]

While the movie is great by itself, nothing beats creating a movie reference library for bonding with your daughter. Sometime in the randomness of life, you’ll be able to pull this reference and she’ll be right there with the response. 👍
