​Plot Overview: When White Goodman(Ben Stiller) threatens to take over Paul Le Fleur(Vince Vaughn)'s gym, Paul has 30 days to make $50,000 to save his gym and what better of a way than a Dodgeball tournament.Directed by Rawson Marshall ThurberStarring Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor# NO SPOILERS!Overall: This movie is pretty funny and had some pretty good characters. It's got charm and a good story and I can definitely recommend you watch it.# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!Good:1. Vince Vaughn is great as Pete Le Fleur as is Christine Taylor as Kate Veatch.2. Ben Stiller steals the show as White Goodman and his overacting carries the movie throughout. He's a highly entertaining character and sticks out in your mind.3. Everyone else does a good job but they were the main three who stood out for me.4. The story is what it says on the tin, 'an underdog story'. Nothing less, nothing more. It didn't need to be anything spectacular and it serves its purpose well.5. The movie is funny. I audibly laughed numerous times throughout the movie and was smiling throughout. Bad:1. The cinematography was pretty poor.2. There were multiple loose ends involving characters which I would have liked to see resolved.7/10Would Recommend

This was a pretty good comedy and typical of the humor used by stars Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn. The movie starts off with Vaughn and Stiller as fitness gym owners in close proximity to each other. Vaughn's gym is pretty run-down and in deep financial debt and about to be taken over by Stiller's more "high-class" gym. He has to come up with $50,000 to pay him off. Fortunately, Vaughn has a devoted group of regulars, and one of them finds a dodgeball tournament in Vegas, and one guess how much the big prize is worth? Of course they enter it! So does Stiller and his gym of devotees.My favorite scenes were the ones with the girl scouts, the uniform mixup, and the final showdown and the final scenes. This was pretty funny fare mostly all the way through. You might like it if you are a comedy fan and like the stars. The tournament scenes were terrific!** 1/2 out of ****

An archetypal (and purportedly true) underdog story, Dodgeball sees Vince Vaughn as lovable but apathetic gym owner Peter La Fleur, who, with his band of misfit customers, enters a national dodgeball tournament to try and win the $50,000 he needs to prevent his business from being acquired by corporate fitness freak White Goodman (Ben Stiller).The order of the day here is low-brow humour, with laughs derived from abject silliness, vulgarity and slapstick; thankfully, nearly all of the gags hit their target square in the face, meaning that even the most joyless of viewers will struggle to remain composed. Whether its the simple pleasure of seeing a person being hit in the knackers by a fast moving ball, the sight of an overweight cheerleader wearing no underwear falling ass down onto someone's face, or ridiculous lines of dialogue such as 'I've even seen a grown man satisfy a camel', Dodgeball is simply too daft not to enjoy.

This is a pretty funny movie about a group of underdogs and misfits, who enter a Las Vegas dodge-ball tournament in order to save their local gym from a much larger Global Gym run by muscular and athletic men.At 92 minutes, this movie is pretty intriguing from start to finish, nothing too drawn out that would render the movie boring and unremarkable. The story goes straight to the point of pitting the average joes against the athletes, telling us that even if you do seem like an underdog or are outnumbered, your perseverance will triumph over your adversaries. There are some corny moments, but this movie isn't meant to be taken as a serious drama.Vince Vaughn does a pretty good job in his role leading the underdogs, and Ben Stiller does a devilish job in portraying the leader of the Global Gym, trying to buy off Vaugh's local and struggling gym. And, it is a real treat to see some cameos from big stars such as Chuck Norris, Gary Cole, William Shatner and David Hasselhoff.Overall, a pretty fun film good for some laughs and surprises.Grade B+
