Worth Watching for Lance

Rating: 5/10 (4 February 2005)

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is not groundbreaking by any means... in fact it was quite disappointing, not enough fun or risqué stuff to really bother watching it for and it doesn't help that doorbell is about as exciting to watch as three legged tortoise. The film seemed very, very short, probably because nothing really happened apart from the obvious, doorbell practise, then doorbell tournament, bit of rivalry, etc... absolutely nothing new or even close to any originality. Ben Stiller is quite scary as the 'bad guy' a bit too far fetched, but i suppose it is in the essence of the movie. The only time I did laugh was with a scene near the end with Lance Armstrong... it is a classic moment in an otherwise poor film.
