Cast: Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor, Rip Torn, Justin Long, Stephen Root, Joel David Moore, Chris Williams, Alan Tudyk
Director: Rawson Marshall Thurber

It's the battle for Average Joe's Gym, played out in dodgeball form. Good guy Peter LaFleur (Vaughn) enters is team of marginally talented clients in a dodgeball tournament in order to get the $50,000 prize. An amount that just happens to equal the amount need to stop the forclosure on his gym. On the other side is White Goodman (Stiller), who is entering the tournament to stop the underdogs from paying off the bank so that he and hi company Globo can take over Average Joe's. "Dodgeball" embraces every sports movie cliche and runs with them, providing consistent humor throughout the movie's 92 minute running time. And of course, there are plenty of dodgeballs to the face (as well as wrenches). This is one of the funniest movies to come out in a long time, and I highly recommend it.
