In DODGEBALL - A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY, Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn team up once again (following STARSKY AND HUTCH) for another comic romp. While hilariously satirizing modern-day...
more...gym culture, the film also celebrates a sport that has previously been relegated to the elementary school playground. Peter La Fleur (Vaughn) owns the decrepit Average Joe's gym, which has been losing its clients ever since the glitzy Globo Gym opened up across the street. White Goodman (Stiller), Globo Gym's main spokesman, is a preposterously vain egomaniac on the cusp of taking over La Fleur's failing business. La Fleur learns from a beautiful attorney (Christine Taylor) that if he doesn't come up with $50,000 in 30 days, his career running a gym will be over. Potential salvation arrives in the form of a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament, but conquering a sport one hasn't played in several decades isn't such an easy feat. Fortunately for Peter, he finds a coach for his team: the hardheaded, ex-superstar Patches O'Houlihan (Rip Torn). As Peter and his ragtag team make their way to the championship in Las Vegas, they must contend with White, who has assembled a team of his very own. Rawson Marshall Thurber's debut feature is a highly assured work, which features hilarious cameos from Chuck Norris, Lance Armstrong, David Hasselhoff, and William Shatner.

This film really is a true underdog story, as average joes gymnasium, leader peter la fluer, manages his dodgeball team to attempt to raise $50,000 to stop globogym, leader white goodman, taking over average joes small freindly gym. It starts to look dodgy for average joes but then they recruit patches o hoolihan to train them into mean ruthless dodgeball players!

In the end average joes wins the dodgeball game and gambles the prize moiney and ends up winning millions which helps them to takover globogym and destroy white goodman

this film is jam packed with hilarious quotes!

such as, "Cram it up your cram hole LeFleur. Prepare to be humiliated on cable television."

there are also many many more, but you should definately buy this film!


I loved it, and you will too!
