Amazon.co.uk Review
How's this for impressive trivia: Dodgeball faced off against The Terminal in opening-weekend competition, and 29-year-old writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber aced Steven Spielberg by a score of $30 to $18.7 in US box-office millions. That's no mean feat for a newcomer, but Thurber's lowbrow script and rapid-fire direction--along with a sublime cast of screen comedians--proved to be just what moviegoers were ravenous for: a consistently hilarious, patently formulaic romp in which the underdog owner of Average Joe's Gym (Vince Vaughan) faces foreclosure unless he can raise $50,000 in 30 days. The solution: a dodgeball tournament offering $50K to the winners, in which Vaughan and his nerdy clientele team up against the preening, abhorrently narcissistic owner (Ben Stiller) of Globo Gym, who's threatening a buy-out. That's it for story; any 5-year-old could follow it with brainpower to spare. But Thurber, Vaughan, Stiller, and their well-cast costars (including Stiller's off-screen wife, Christine Taylor) keep the big laughs coming for 96 nonsensical minutes. With spot-on cameos by champion bicyclist Lance Armstrong, David Hasselhoff, Hank Azaria, Chuck Norris, and William Shatner, and a crudely amusing coda for those who watch past the credits, Dodgeball is no masterpiece, but you can bet Spielberg was unexpectedly humbled by its popular appeal. --Jeff Shannon

Synopsis
In DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY, Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn team up once again (following STARSKY & HUTCH) for another comic romp. While hilariously satirising modern-day gym culture, the film also celebrates a sport that has previously been relegated to the elementary school playground. Peter La Fleur (Vaughn) owns the decrepit Average Joe's gym, which has been losing its clients ever since the glitzy Globo Gym opened up across the street. White Goodman (Stiller), Globo Gym's main spokesman, is a preposterously vain egomaniac on the cusp of taking over La Fleur's failing business. La Fleur learns from a beautiful attorney (Christine Taylor) that if he doesn't come up with $50,000 in 30 days, his career running a gym will be over. Potential salvation arrives in the form of a Las Vegas dodgeball tournament, but conquering a sport one hasn't played in several decades isn't such an easy feat. Fortunately for Peter, he finds a coach for his team: the hardheaded, ex-superstar Patches O'Houlihan (Rip Torn). As Peter and his ragtag team make their way to the championship in Las Vegas, they must contend with White, who has assembled a team of his very own. Rawson Marshall Thurber's debut feature is a highly assured work, which features hilarious cameos from Chuck Norris, Lance Armstrong, David Hasselhoff, and William Shatner.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   4 of 5 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars If You Can Dodge a Wrench, You Can Dodge a Ball..., 9 Sep 2005 By  Mrs. S. C. Gurney "shelagh120" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I bought this on PSP UMD. and i gotta say it was worth the money. at 88minutes long, its perfect for portable viewing, and that psp 16:9 screen makes viewing it perfectly. The film is also very funny, starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller (Starsky & Hutch) and a host of others trying to play dodgeball for money to save a gymnasium. the only complaint is that it is a bit too short and could of easily used another 20minutes.aside from that its worth buying Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It is a good length but not too long so it's easy to watch on a short journey or to kill time on a long one! One of the best films in my opinion to be released for PSP and it's worth it. The viewing is great, you get a quality image from the PSP's screen. With the PSP headphones you can enjoy this film without disturbing others!! If you're going to buy a film for PSP get this one. A great, hilarious film anyway and great for travelling!! Hillarious and entertaining! Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
