DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story
Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber
When megalomaniacal White Goodman, the owner of a trendy, high-end fitness center, makes a move to take over the struggling local gym run by happy-go-lucky Pete La Fleur, there's only one way for La Fleur to fight back: dodgeball. Aided by a dodgeball guru and Goodman's attorney, La Fleur and his rag-tag team of underdogs launch a knock-down, drag-out battle in which the winner takes all. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the weird things around the NAKED GUN discourse is misremembering the "Movie" Movies (EPIC MOVIE, DATE MOVIE, MEET THE SPARTANS) as the only spoofs of the 2000s and not beloved films like WALK HARD, ANCHORMAN, ZOOLANDER, TALLADEGA NIGHTS, and DODGEBALL which were also killing it but died.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's very funny that in the movie Dodgeball, the real life athlete that makes a cameo to give a down-and-out Vince Vaughan the pep talk he needs to go on and win the final, is none other than Lance Armstrong
neutral · AI labelView post →Bad take. Dodgeball (2004) is the best movie ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →The black and white educational film about dodgeball in "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" is copyright 1954, but has a 50 star American flag. (Sam Peckinpah westerns are fastidious about getting US flags right.)

neutral · AI labelView post →It's called "the ocho" because it's embracing a previously-satirical reference from the movie "Dodgeball".
neutral · AI labelView post →Everything’s so fucking bleak I went out of my way to put on Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughan’s “Dodgeball” to lighten the mood My son comes in, like “I like dodgeball at school but I don’t wanna watch a whole film about it?!” “You’ll love this” “No.” So now I’m back to doom scrolling.

neutral · AI labelView post →I hadn’t been a fan of Chuck Norris since I saw him embrace Mike Huckabee for some office. He somewhat redeemed himself in the his cameo role in Dodgeball, but that was only a movie. So, he can RIP.
neutral · AI labelView post →Because it's winter olympics time, I have turned on Blades of Glory, a sports movie so ridiculous it makes Dodgeball look like a documentary.
neutral · AI labelView post →Letting my 9 yo watch Dodgeball. Blowing her mind by saying the lines before the movie does. Wait until we watch Anchorman. I miss stupid movies like this.
positive · AI labelView post →I laughed more times in 47 seconds that I did during the movie DODGEBALL.
negative · AI labelView post →Right? I only did it for about a year but I worked a lot for some rando short girl with no agent. I did Intex Pool Supplies, Wheel of Fortune, Dodgeball, this weird vampire project, and starred in a truly terrible straight to DVD Christian film. It was a year.
neutral · AI labelView post →I unfollowed someone for calling Dodgeball a classic film. Ya’ll…the world is crazy enough. We don’t need to add to it.
negative · AI labelView post →When I was watching Serenity with my son, he blurted out, "Steve the Pirate," from a movie I hadn't seen called "Dodgeball." We then watched that film and laughed all the way through.

positive · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie for the nephew’s comedy edification is Dodgeball. Dodge, dip, duck, dive, and dodge. Also, Ben Stiller is at his best when he plays a villain.

positive · AI labelView post →Speaking for myself, I have no problem with a villain in a film having an unsavory worldview, and in fact wish more villains did, but the fat suit jokes in DODGEBALL, and lots of comedies from that era, that use larger bodies as a disgusting sight gag, have not aged well.
negative · AI labelView post →The “Dodgeball” movie really was ahead of its time on this one 🇨🇦✨
neutral · AI labelView post →A thread.... #ThrowbackThursday #TBT Watching the movie Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story made me think of the 1980s TV series Knight Rider (because of David Hasselhoff having a cameo in Dodgeball). Then the Knight Rider intro theme immediately popped into my head. I had to.... #TV #TVSeries

neutral · AI labelView post →I think this is the greatest video I’ve ever seen in my life. Lmfao The sincerity to which this was performed. And to me this is a scene from a Ben stiller /Dodgeball/ like movie. I am in love with this.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve always had an idea for a film. Think Dodgeball, but it’s the Pub Darts Scene in the UK. Nick frost is a talented down on his luck Everyman who plays in pub leagues. He gets taken under the wing of a reluctant alcoholic coach, played by Simon Pegg. They play their way to the PDC final.
