DODGEBALL follows the same basic plot as SISTER ACT II: do something unusual to raise the cash to allow us to stay where we are.It has its moments -- I enjoyed the pastiche black-and-white educational short to tell us the rules and origins of dodgeball. I also liked the second team that Average Joe's met in Las Vegas -- far more interested in striking a pose than in playing a decent game, and wearing tracksuits that were far too spacious -- but they were on for less than a minute. The second, ultra-dumb commentator was also fun for a while.The rest of it is predictable stuff, and there's not a single original joke in there. Both SPINAL TAP and MORE BAD NEWS have done the inflated penis gag, I'm afraid, guys.But it's an enjoyable, if mindless, way to spend 90 minutes. Probably one for rental rather than purchase.[...]
