Very funny in parts, but a little too crude for me

Rating: 6/10 (18 January 2005)

Having played dodge ball many times in junior high school I thought the concept of this movie was great. And indeed, this movie had many hilarious scenes, including the numerous dodge ball shots to the head and groin. The tone and plot line were very reminiscent of "Happy Gilmore."
However, some of the jokes fell flat. The pointless girl on girl kissing scenes in this and other movies are getting really old really fast, as was some of the unnecessarily crude language. Also some of the humor was just plain blah, like the whole subplot of the pirate.
I won't buy it, but it wasn't a waste of a rental.
