Cute Film.

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2004)

I used to play dodgeball every day in grade school and my border collie is named Dodger, so of course I would like this film. I had forgotten the angst and excitement of the game but it came back in a rush.
The predictable plot focuses on a group of loser/nerd underdogs who manage to pull together and win the day over the smarmy, over-self-confident villains. This film is light comedy that kept me chuckling like an idiot but not feeling too guilty about it. Ben Stiller steals the show as the hilarious pumped-up villain on steroids. Christine Taylor is nice eye candy. Everyone else does a creditable job and seemed to enjoy making this film.
