Film Review Dodge Ball: A True Underdog Story (2004) 12A




There have been many movies made about sport but the one degrading sport that has everyone quivering is of course the dreaded Dodge ball. Banned in many schools now for being too aggressive the underdog story gives us a funny interpretation of the sport. Dodge ball  shows gym owner Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn) and the underdogs fighting to save his gym from being taken over by a bigger corporate gym, Globo Gym, which is run by White Goodman (Ben Stiller). La Fleur enters a Dodge ball tournament in order to raise the $50,000 he need to save his gym from being bought out and ends up head to head with his rival White Goodman’s  team. The plot is pretty much shot by numbers, following a similar plot to that of Mighty Ducks. With plenty of ridiculously laugh out loud humour Dodge ball will have you falling off your seat.
