Nothing new here

Rating: 4/10 (12 September 2004)

Dodgeball is a fairly standard noughties comedy. For what it's worth Peter La Fleur (Vaughn) runs (in the loose sense of the word) a struggling gym. White Goodman (Stiller) is extremely successful and wants to buy La Fleur's gym to turn it into a car park for his own empire. La Fleur tries desperately to raise the cash to save his gym, but eventually bands together with the gym regulars to win the money they need via a Dodgeball competition.
Most of the jokes are visual with the script offering few outstanding moments. The best bits are when the coach Patches O'Houlihan puts the team through their paces. It's a pleasant enough way to spend an hour and a half, but you'll probably not be able to remember too much about it after a couple of months. 6/10
