Peter LaFleur is a charismatic underachiever and proprietor of a rundown gym called Average Joe's. The facility's ecclectic clientele of decidedly less-than-average Joes is comprised 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, the power-mullet-sporting, Fu-Manchu-d, egomaniacal ... Read More

This is definitely one movie I never get tired of. Vince Vaughn is at his comic best as the owner of Average Joe's Gym. He and Ben Stiller (another comic genius) are polar oposites in this movie and it works.....well. This movie was an excellent example of what an ensemble comedy should be. The "Mongrel Race that comprised Average Joe's membership" worked really well together. I thought Joel David Moore was funny as dim-witted Owen who finally finds love with Romanovian dodgeball star, Fran. Rip Torn ... Read More

The fact is, this movie is hilarious. I never expected this to be very funny when I started watching it. The sight gags really work, and the same is said for the humor itself (even though some of it involves people repeatedly getting hit by something). Vaughan, Stiller, Torn, and the rest of the cast really give hysterical performances. But why the four stars? Well, the only flaw here is that certain scenes do seem to slow the film down. But that's about it. The rest of the film is very good. It's a comedy ... Read More

Basically, my thoughts about this movie can be summed up in the title of this review. A family member of mine got this movie as a gift last Christmas, and just recently I was in a "comedy" mood and gave it a viewing. By the end of the film, though, the only person I was laughing at was myself for sitting through the whole thing.
The problems with this film are numerous: The jokes rely way too much on crude humor, they often aren't even funny in that area, and the goal of the film (to combine ... Read More

This is a very funny film about a laid-back guy named Peter LaFleur, who is about to lose his decaying gym called Average Joe's because the gym across the street, Globo-Gym owned by White Goodman is a lot better. Peter and his friends must raise $50,000 in 30 days in order to redeem the gym, or White will foreclose on it and turn it into a parking lot. The Average Joe's decide to become a dodgeball team, and the winner gets $50,000. Will the Average Joe's beat White's team and win the money? I highly recommend ... Read More

Editorial Review:
Product Description:
DODGEBALL-UNRATED VERSION (DVD/1.85/ENG-SP SUB/200
Amazon.com:
How's this for impressive trivia: Dodgeball faced off against The Terminal in opening-weekend competition, and 29-year-old writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber aced Steven Spielberg by a score of $30 to $18.7 in box-office millions. That's no mean feat for a newcomer, but Thurber's lowbrow script and rapid-fire direction--along with a sublime cast of screen comedians--proved to be just what moviegoers were ravenous for: a consistently hilarious, patently formulaic romp in which the underdog owner of Average Joe's Gym (Vince Vaughan) faces foreclosure unless he can raise $50,000 in 30 days. The solution: A dodgeball tournament offering $50K to the winners, in which Vaughan and his nerdy clientele team up against the preening, abhorrently narcissistic owner (Ben Stiller) of Globo Gym, who's threatening a buy-out. That's it for story; any 5-year-old could follow it with brainpower to spare. But Thurber, Vaughan, Stiller, and their well-cast costars (including Stiller's off-screen wife, Christine Taylor) keep the big laughs coming for 96 nonsensical minutes. With spot-on cameos by champion bicyclist Lance Armstrong, David Hasselhoff, Hank Azaria, Chuck Norris, and William Shatner, and a crudely amusing coda for those who watch past the credits, Dodgeball is no masterpiece, but you can bet Spielberg was unexpectedly humbled by its popular appeal. --Jeff Shannon
