A Truly Funny Underdog Story

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2004)

I know what you're thinking, "This flick looks silly to me," right? Well it is. Despite myself, I found myself laughing out loud even at the gags given away in the trailer. I couldn't believe how funny it was.
I won't put in any spoilers, there's enough of that in the trailer. Just watch for Lance Armstrong, and Chuck Norris. Gary Cole and Jason Bateman are especially hilarious in their cameo as Sport announcers. Yes the premise is unbelievable, but it is populated with characters you care about. And once it gets rolling, you can't wait for the next gag. If you miss this one in the theatre, rent the DVD!
