Rating: 4.0
Better than I expected
Just like Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, I was afraid to waste any money watching it fearing that it so dumb it's not funny period type of flick. Luckily, I was proven wrong. Ben Stiller is White Goodman, a cocky, wealthy and heavily built owner of the hottest gym going. Vince Vaughn is Peter LaFleur, the owner of Average Joe's gym which is old, worn out and in finanical debt to its ears. White and Peter have different philosophy as it relates to human conditioning and outlooks on life. White feels if you're not buff or in shape, you're a loser. Peter is for everyone regardless of what shape their in.The bank gives Peter a notice that the gym is about to be foreclosed if he does not come up with $50,000. If peter fails to come up with this money, White will use the gym to add on to his gym. Peter and his crew try desperately to come up with strageties to make the money, but fall flat each time until one of the guys encouraged the group to get involved in a dodgeball competition. Of course, Peter is pretty much the only guy on the team that has any athletic abilities. In fact the team was so bad that they got schooled by a girl scout's team in order to qualify for the touranment but the girls got disqualified b/c one of the girls failed a drug test. Go Figure. Luckily, the team did get some help as a coach (Rip Torn) comes and shows them the ropes on how to play the game. Of course, that took many, many practices to even get them even close to being competitive. The coach used wrenches and screwdrivers to as ball to help them practice. Obvisously, you would want to be good enough to dodge these things or else you'll be in some serious pain. In addition, the woman who entered Average Joe's gym to give him his notice joined the team b/c she hated White just as bad as he did and was you would expect, Average Joe's overcame the odds to advance in the finals of the tourament. However, their cinderalla story was in some serious jeporady. The coach gets killed in a casino, some of the team members had priorities elsewhere, and White strongly encouraged Peter a deal he couldn't refuse in selling his gym. However, against all odds the team did prevail, keep the gym, and run White's gym out of business. White ends up the guy that he thought was a complete loser as he sat in his sofa eating a pound of ice cream grieveing over the loss. Highly Recommended.
