Description
In DODGEBALL – A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn team up once again (following STARSKY AND HUTCH) for another comic romp. While hilariously satirizing modern-day gym culture the film also celebrates a sport that has previously been relegated to the elementary school playground. Peter La Fleur (Vaughn) owns the decrepit Average Joes gym which has been losing its clients ever since the glitzy Globo Gym opened up across the street. White Goodman (Stiller) Globo Gyms main spokesman is a preposterously vain egomaniac on the cusp of taking over La Fleurs failing business. La Fleur learns from a beautiful attorney (Christine Taylor) that if he doesnt come up with 50000 in 30 days his career running a gym will be over. Potential salvation arrives in the form of a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament but conquering a sport one hasnt played in several decades isnt such an easy feat. Fortunately for Peter he finds a coach for his team the hardheaded ex-superstar Patches OHoulihan (Rip Torn). As Peter and his ragtag team make their way to the championship in Las Vegas they must contend with White who has assembled a team of his very own. Rawson Marshall Thurbers debut feature is a highly assured work which features hilarious cameos from Chuck Norris Lance Armstrong David Hasselhoff and William Shatner.
