Dodgeball is an unusual beast.
It's from the Vince Vaughn era of movies. I'm not sure if he'll ever make a great comedy again, but he has made quite a few and this is among his best.

I never met anyone that wasn't in love with this movie after seeing it just one time. That's pretty strange considering that it only has a 6.7 on IMDb.
I've talked before about my disagreement with IMDB ratings, and how they are bought and sold like hotcakes.
In my opinion this movie deserves a solid 8.5 because it is simply a great comedy that everyone I know really enjoys.
Starring Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, and a whole lot of other people that you've seen in a wide variety of different comedies.... Dodgeball has something for everyone.
Vince Vaughn runs a gym called Average Joe's. The people that work out there are not trying to make any huge gains.
They are simply trying to hang out and have fun.
Ben Stiller is a bit of a strange character. He runs a big chain of gyms.
He decides he wants to take over Average Joe's because they are late on making their mortgage payment.
Somehow both teams end up in a Dodgeball tournament. Dodgeball tournaments might be fun to watch, and they might not be.
However, this one is awesome.
There's really not much more to say than that except that there are a lot of actors that you will recognize in this movie.
If you like comedies you're bound to enjoy Dodgeball.
It's a perfectly harmless movie with some over the top innuendo but nothing that would really make anyone blush.
If you see this on a streaming site or somewhere online, I suggest you give it a watch.
Is it worth buying? I don't know.
But I would definitely either rent it or watch it given the opportunity.
It's a fun movie and you really can't go wrong.
