DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story Trailers

When megalomaniacal White Goodman, the owner of a trendy, high-end fitness center, makes a move to take over the struggling local gym run by happy-go-lucky Pete La Fleur, there's only one way for La Fleur to fight back: dodgeball. Aided by a dodgeball guru and Goodman's attorney, La Fleur and his rag-tag team of underdogs launch a knock-down, drag-out battle in which the winner takes all.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

If you need something fun to watch and enjoy the underdog/good vs evil storyline then this movie will tick all your boxes. Had to review this as I don't believe the 6.7 rating is fair considering the laughs had during the movie. Sure Lance Armstrong is in it and now seems totally miscast but the guy still won the Tour multiple times with no healthy dodgeballs of his own.

'Dodgeball' achieves almost all of its laughs through the sheer stupidity of the plot and some ridiculous individual scenes. Over-the- top comedies like this usually either end up being complete disasters or very funny, and I would definitely place 'Dodgeball' in the latter category.The guy behind this film went on to direct 2013's 'We're the Millers' and the similarities between the two are clear. Both have ridiculous plots, silly gags and eccentric characters that, on paper, really shouldn't work. Not only do they work, but both were a complete blast to watch. The sort of film that you can't take seriously, because it doesn't even take itself seriously!

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.

I think the main plot of the movie was written by a group of chimps or under-skilled writers.Other that than that i love the movie.The movie did well in visual effects,soundtrack,theme,etc.The end of the movie was very odd because peter takes the 100,000 thousand offered to him by white the evil owner of the gym trying to take over globo gym.then he goes out and still plays for globo even though he signed over the deed to white. another point i don't like about the movie is how the German team has David hasslehoff be their coach. not to mention that lance Armstrong was in the movie he has no real connection with any of the plot lines of the movie.
