About this movie

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, is a film that grabs life by the ball. Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughn), is a charismatic underachiever and proprietor of a rundown gym called Average JoeÍs. The facilityÍs clientele of decidedly less-than-average Joes is made up of a self-styled pirate, a scrawny nerd (Justin Long) 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. PeterÍs 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 JoeÍs, and PeterÍs non-existent bookkeeping is making it all too easy for him. A foreclosing bank has stationed attorney Kate Veatch (Christine Taylor) inside Average JoeÍs to finalize GloboÍs takeover of the gym. PeterÍs boyish charm wins her over and Kate joins his team of social rejects to beat the odds.

Whoever rendered the film edited out most of the bar scene where Owen and Fran hookup then go back to the hotel room. Whats worse is the scene was cut but the dialogue wasn't, so the closed captions don't align with the video. Theyre off by at least 30 seconds throughout the film.

Please tear my eyes out with this rusty spoon! For the love of all that is holy - Stop acting in things Ben Stiller! Take Will Farrell and Adam Sandler with you!

Vince Vaughn is not one of my favorite actors but ben Stiller is just so funny at basically anything he is in. I can't belive this was a true story.
