Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story revolves around amiable underachiever Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughn), whose rundown gym, Average Joe's, is populated by a less-than-average clientele including a self-styled pirate, an ultra-obscure sports aficionado, and a pining high school nerd. It soon becomes apparent that Joe's is in financial trouble and will soon be foreclosed by attractive attorney Kate Veach (Christine Taylor) - unless Peter can cough up $50,000. Despite Average Joe's posing little threat to Globo Gym, a fitness Goliath across the street that is owned by egomaniacal White Goodman (Ben Stiller) - Goodman senses an easy acquisition and decides to take over the facility.

This is a great satire on competitive sports and health clubs. Using dodgeball as subject matter is perfect because the "sport ' is not subtle concerning its violent and crude nature. I remember playing dodgeball quite often in elementary school. And, even at a young age, the activity's chaotic and absurd nature struck me as funny. The acting is very good and the characterizations are hilarious.
