About This Movie

DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story is a quirky comedy that nails that offbeat vibe. You’ve got Vince Vaughn as the slacker gym owner, Pete, who’s charmingly clueless. Then there’s Ben Stiller as White Goodman, who really leans into that over-the-top villain role, making him oddly enjoyable to watch. The film's pacing keeps it lively, and the dodgeball scenes are surprisingly well choreographed – it’s not just a gimmick. There's something refreshing about the underdog theme, mixed with that absurd humor. Plus, the ensemble cast adds a lot of flavor, with memorable supporting characters. It's that kind of film you can throw on for a laugh, yet it has a bit more heart than you might expect.

Released on DVD in 2004, with various special editions.Filmed in California, primarily in Los Angeles.Practical effects used for dodgeball scenes add a unique flair.
