Release date: June 18, 2004
A group of misfits enter a large-scale dodgeball tournament to save their local gym from an evil health fitness chain.
While Dodgeball may not be up to the comedic standards of other Vince Vaughn and/or Ben Stiller movies, this sports comedy manages to deliver some laughs as the members of the Average Joe's Gymnasium take on corporate bigwigs in Las Vegas. Vaughn surprisingly (and effectively) underplays his role as the hero and Stiller goes way over the top as the villain; somehow, this manages to create a comedic balance that works for the film rather than against it, with the rest of the cast just hanging on for the ride. This is the kind of movie that thinks surprise cameos by the likes of William Shatner and David Hasselhoff are automatically hilarious in and of themselves - and they kind of are, actually.
