Vince Vaughn and Chuck Norris.Two faces I never thought I'd see on film together.

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2004)

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs
Peter La Fluer (Vince Vaughn) is the slack owner of a rundown gym called Average Joes.Just across the street,Globo Gym,part of a world-wide chain of fitness centres,operates and it's egotistical owner White Goodman (Ben Stiller) is planning to demolish AJ to make way for a bigger car park for his gym.Incensed by this,Peter challenges Globo Gym to a dodgeball competition to determine who will come out on top.
Dodgeball is a film that manages to hit all the right notes without always being successful.The laughs are certainly well rehearsed but still manage to be predictable.Both Stiller and Vaughn deliver comedic mugging that at times really manages to grate beneath the skin.The plot could have done with a bit more focus too.Despite all this,Dodgeball remains rather watchable stuff,although it's also has a film that just has you on seat edge for the Norris cameo.Make what you will of that.***
