'A skidmark on the underpants of society'

Advantages: Comic scriptwriting at its silliest and finest! Stiller is funnier than ever before.
Disadvantages: Plot as watertight as a sieve and character depth to match. A one man show.

...urine drinking (?!), one time dodgeball legend Patches O'Houlihan (Rip Torn)- and before we know it we're off on a hilarious adventure of miniature and scantily believable proportions.

Well, at least that ...

White obviously wants to make the acquisition of Average Joes and puts together a ‘dream team’ to make sure that Average Joe’s will not win the prize money.

Especially when White Goodman (Ben Stiller) the egomaniacal owner of Globo gym, decides to enter his own team of highly tuned sportsmen into the same competition in the hope of stopping La Fleur in his tracks. ►►► Opinion To be totally honest, I really did not find “DodgeBall” that funny, ...
...decide to enter into the DodgeBall competition, despite a distinct lack of experience. So straight away you know the film is going to try and entertain through using preposterous premises to make you laugh, which sadly don’t always hit the mark. So much more could have been done with the plot to make it more substantial and funny, but the writers behind the film have spent more time trying to make us laugh with lack lustre jokes than give us a decent ...

...me, I knew exactly where Dodgeball was going. One of these misfits, inexplicably, propelled himself on-screen dressed as a pirate, and proceeded to pipe up with a number of seafaring clichés. Why? I have no idea, ‘me hearty’. All was not lost though - The Blazin’ Squad impersonators sitting behind us loved this guy. A moment of light relief presented itself, however, when Kate (Stillers’ impossibly pretty off-screen partner Christine Taylor) appears ...
...how they would tack the Dodgeball connection onto the side of these already creaking, balsa wood foundations. Guess what? Post Car-Wash, back at Joe’s, the downbeat posse stumbled across an ad in a magazine. A Dodgeball competition in Vegas! The prize? $50,000! Only waking up to find it was all a dream could have been more fittingly crap. From here on, things actually manage to get worse, in a comedic sense at least. The crew inevitably decide to ...

...underdogs decide to enter the dodgeball tournament. I can tell you are gripped, but just hang on.. .. theres a twist. Goodman's outfit has a crack dodgeball team that wants to win the tournament too! Not only that but he wants La Fleur's gymn, so the two strike a side bet. Its edge of the seat stuff but wait there's yet more. Apart from the businesses at stake, there is the highly original sub plot of the two men competing for the heart of the luscious ...
...great characters and genuine laughs. Dodgeball take a swipe at many a sporting movie, the problem is that the intended objects of derision are generally far superior to the film that mocks them. Writer and Director Thurber litters his film with stereotypes and while (I hope) this is obviously a ploy to satirise other flicks, the upshot is that these characters are just plain dull. There really is very little skill in mocking the archetypal misfit ...

Cue some rather amusing attempts to practice at this somewhat violent game and a slightly bizarre - not to mention lucky - drugs failure by one of their early competitors in the regional championships, and Average Joe's suddenly find themselves in the National Dodgeball tournament and on their way to winning. They can't ...

The ultimate star of the film, however, has to be Patches O'Houlihan. Played by Rip Torn, Patches is a former major-league Dodgeball player, now confined to a wheelchair. As well as being the only guy who can get Average Joe's through to the final, he's also the one guy in the film ...

Stiller in Spandex!

Advantages: A well written script.
Disadvantages: May cause offence to some!

Not being a fan of Ben Stiller after watching Starsky and Hutch, I was suckered into watching Dodgeball - A True Underdog Story. As with most things that Stiller is in you tend to have the same type of character being played in different scenarios, here Stiller isn't actually the star and this film is better for it by miles. The plot revolves around the possession of a gym called Average Joe's, when a bigger company becomes interested in buying Average Joe's for use a s Car Park for his clients, the owner has to figure out something that will save the Gym and his future. With the members of Average Joe's all wanting to save the Gym from extinction, the decision is taken to enter a Dodgeball competition with the prize money being won to save the Gym, The owner and founder of Globo Gym, White Goodman, goes out of his way at every ...

Smash and Grab

Advantages: Slightly humerous
Disadvantages: Disappointing

* AVERAGE JOES * There seems to be a group of comedians that just dominate American films lately, and pretty much if you're not in that film you're not anybody. It's a comedy cliq if you will, and it's a matter of you either love them or you hate them. I would say this group is probably fronted by Will Farrell, but lucky for some he doesn't make any sort of appearance in this film. Unusual as I thought he tries to get a cameo in any film possibly, especially one that had as much hype as 2004's Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. I had been planning to see this film for quite some time, but it's just one of those films that you never really get around to, until it was on Film4 last night and how could I say no to finally seeing whether it was one to dodge or not. Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn) is the owner of a small profile gym ...

Could be better

Advantages: Funny in places
Disadvantages: Could have been better

This film made up my entertainment for last night as it was shown on Channel Four. Overall it was mildly entertaining with the odd funny moment but it never really made me laugh as much as I expected to given the rather impressive lead characters of Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller. In the film the two are rival owners of neighbouring gyms however both have very different cultures, Stillers, Globo Gym, is full of super buff people and he is an odious macho creep who is rather stupid and has over come some very severe image issues to get where he is. Vaughn on the other hand runs Average Joe's Gym which is full of a bunch of losers and basically is in huge debts as Vaughn has a very lapse style on management. In order to raise much needed finance the Average Joe decide to enter a dodgeball contest with a team of misfits which brings ...
