Dodgeball: A true underdog story - 3

This is a half decent movie given its inherently funny subject. It would be impossible to make a serious movie out of the game of dodgeball. Added to this is the fact that they have written a very funny script, and only cast half of it well enough to make you laugh for most of the movie. It repeats all of the jokes that you and your friends already made back in grade school, while adding some macho and gay jokes. If you want to see a better satire of real live events watch Best in Show, or other mockumentaries by writer Christopher Guest. Its worth a laugh, but I didn't go out of my way to see it.
