Funny, Worth Seeing!!

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2004)

Vince Vaughn plays Peter La Fleur, a man who is down on his luck and is the owner of Average Joe's Gym. However, Vaughn is about to have his gym taken from him and sold to the competition, White Goodman played by Ben Stiller and Global Gym. Vaughn has to raise $50,000 to stop Global Gym from making Average Joe's Gym into a parking lot. In order to get the money they decide to play dodgeball. Stiller learns of their plans and tries to stop them by entering a team into the tournament. Rip Torn is excellent in this film. Rip Torn plays Patches O Houlan, coach for Average Joe's Gym and ex-dodgeball player. Besides Rip Torn, I also liked Ben Stiller's portrayal as White Goodman. Average Joe's team also consists of a geek, a nerd, a man who thinks he is a pirate and Christine Taylor. However, the movie is a little predictable, but overall I gave the movie a 8 out of 10.
