Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story


Wow. Wowwy wow wow, wow.[/Christopher Walkin voice]

Plot: Since I wasn't expecting much from the plot, I wasn't dissapointed in it. But since I have not seen another, better dodgeball related movie, this is the best one. Clearly, the good guys have to win, and they do. (Sorry if that spoiled anything for you)[And if it did, you are not an expert movie predictor]

Casting: Im going to pull a Kozhwuf here and combine words to describe it: Swee-mazinga-awesome. Most movies are content with 2-3 big names, and some smaller names, not this movie. Ben Stiller is the bad guy (for once) and Vince Vaughn is his counterpart, the good guy. Christine Taylor plays the "lesbian" ;) lawyer who joins the Average Joe team. Those are the Big 3 of this movie. Ah d, ah d, ah d, ah dat's not all folks. We also have (drum roll please) Milton from Office Space! Steven Root is a member of the Average Joe team, Gordon. Hank Azaria appears as a young dodgeball player. For those of you saying "Who is Hank Azaria?" (No Krach, it's not 'Who is, Hank Azaria?'), you need to brush up on your Simpson voice actors. He voices for Apu, Moe, Comic Book Guy, Chief Wiggum, and Clettus, just to name a few. But wait! The fun doesn't stop there. Rip Torn appears as an older Hank and teaches the Average Joe team to play hardcore dodgeball. Wait . . . Here come's more recognizable faces, inclulding: David Hasselhoff as a German team coach, William Shatner as the head Dodgeball guy, Chuck Norris as a dodgeball comitee member, and Lance Armstrong as an inspiration to Vince to get back in the game. Alot of the cast will be reapearing in Anchorman, which looks just as good.

Humorous Aspect: Soooo many one-liners. I might have to go watch it again and write them all down in my handy-dandy notebook (which was not with me at the time). Most of the lines were stupid jokes, such as "You're about as usefull as a poop flavored popcicle." Not the most elegant way of putting it, but oh so funny. They went most of the movie without swearing, a rarity now-a-days. But they just couldn't keep it together. Every PG-13 movie can use the F word once, and they just couldn't refuse. After you see this movie, stick around for the credits. There's a secret scene that I know you would love to see.

Overall: I give this movie a clown on his mini bicycle; simply put, hi-larious. Go see this movie if you are a fan of stupid jokes and situational humor, not literaray comedy.
