Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/25 Full Review TheMovieSearch R Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is one of those comedies that has cemented itself as a cult classic, and honestly, it’s easy to see why. From start to finish, this film is pure fun—outrageous, ridiculous, and endlessly quotable. It’s the kind of comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still manages to keep you fully invested in the underdog tale at its core. I’ll admit it: I’m not typically a Vince Vaughn fan. But in this movie, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed his performance. He brings just the right amount of charm and sarcasm to hold the story together, and I found myself laughing right alongside him. Of course, what really makes the film stand out are the dodgeball sequences themselves. That whole “dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge” bit is not only hilarious but perfectly executed. The energy in those scenes, the physical comedy, and the way the absurdity ramps up just had me hooked. The screenplay deserves a lot of credit here. It’s sharp, witty, and knows exactly how to balance character-driven humor with over-the-top gags. Every member of the Average Joe’s team is distinct, quirky, and memorable—you either find yourself rooting for them, laughing at them, or both. Ben Stiller, meanwhile, is on another level entirely. His performance as White Goodman is pure comedic genius. He plays the villain with such obnoxious, over-the-top arrogance that you can’t help but laugh at just how ridiculous and awful he truly is. Now, to be fair, Dodgeball isn’t perfect. Some of the acting is uneven, and there are definitely moments where the absurdity gets pushed so far it borders on sloppy. But honestly, that’s part of the movie’s charm. It leans into the ridiculousness, and because of that, the flaws almost enhance the fun. The over-the-top performances, the silly plot twists, and the exaggerated stakes all come together in a way that makes it unforgettable. Even with its flaws, this is a comedy that still holds up years later. It’s endlessly quotable, surprisingly clever, and just plain fun. Whether you’re watching it for the first time or the fifteenth, it’s one of those movies that can still make you laugh out loud. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is the definition of a cult classic, and it’s absolutely worth checking out if you somehow haven’t seen it yet.
