When the tag line of the movie is “A True Underdog Story”, they weren’t exaggerating. Led by Peter LaFleur (Vince Vaughn reprising what has to be the same stone faced sarcastic one he has had for more than a decade), it is the story of a bunch of physical and social misfits who frequent Average Joe’s gym who band together to save their facility by entering a Dodgeball tournament with a $50,000 prize. For a sports flick, the film preaches comedy over athletics, especially now with the unintended comedic effect of Lance Armstrong (the only certifiable athlete in the film) giving a spirit of competition speech to LaFleur to rally him back towards his team. Was LaFleur really presented as an athletic hero in the movie? Not exactly, but he was painted as the only one who could have brought that sorry band of misfits to a Dodgeball title.
