Dodgeball: A TRUE Underdog Story
Is this movie cool???
I was checking the release, and it seems to be very funny, and since it's being released next week (Dec. 7th), I'm thinking in order the dvd...
A movie with Ben Stiller? hmm...must be awesome! hehehe

This is the release that I saw


Dodgeball is becoming a cultural phenomenon. Adult dodgeball leagues are springing up in major cities, Vanity Fair called the game the “It Sport,” and The New York Times and Fortune recently heralded the sport’s re-emergence.

So the time is ripe for a poignant motion picture that brings dignity and respect to the world of competitive dodgeball. A tale in the tradition of great films about legendary sports heroes. An emotionally stirring look at the thrills of victory and the heartbreaks of defeat.


DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY, a film that grabs life by the ball. The story’s protagonist, Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughn), is a charismatic underachiever and proprietor of a rundown gym called Average Joe’s. The facility’s clientele of decidedly less-than-average Joes is made up of a self-styled pirate, a scrawny nerd who dreams of impressing an unattainable cheerleader, an obsessive aficionado of obscure sports, a dim-witted young man, and a cocky know-it-all who, of course, really knows nothing.

Peter’s humble gym catches the eye of White Goodman (Ben Stiller), the power-mullet-sporting, Fu-Manchu-d, egomaniacal owner of Globo Gym, a gleaming monolith of fitness. White intends to take over Average Joe’s, and Peter’s non-existent bookkeeping is making it all too easy for him. A foreclosing bank has stationed attorney Kate Veatch (Christine Taylor) inside Average Joe’s to finalize Globo’s takeover of the gym. Peter’s boyish charms win her over and Kate joins his team of social rejects to beat the odds — and their own ineptitude — to try to save Average Joe’s. How? A showdown dodgeball competition against Globo Gym.

Its decent, pretty much forgettable. The only memorable scene I really liked was when Patches called the girl a dyke.

[RedLightning]

Hmmm, I loved it. Going to get it sometime when it comes out. I laughed harder in Anchorman though.

Without a doubt, a very funny movie
