In the high-stakes world of competitive dodgeball, the fate of a rundown gym rests on the shoulders of its hapless owner. When the charming but aimless Peter LaFleur, played by Vince Vaughn, faces the foreclosure of his beloved Average Joe's Gymnasium, he finds an unlikely savior in a group of his most socially awkward members. Their only hope to save their community hub is to win the $50,000 grand prize at the national dodgeball championship. Standing in their way is the monstrously egotistical fitness guru White Goodman, a hilarious turn by Ben Stiller, who owns the glitzy Globo Gym across the street and is determined to crush them. With the help of a legendary, hard-drinking coach portrayed by Rip Torn and a lawyer with a secret past, Christine Taylor's Kate Veatch, this band of misfits must transform from a laughingstock into a legitimate team. This uproarious sports comedy from writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber delivers a barrage of gut-busting gags and surprisingly heartfelt moments as it celebrates the ultimate underdogs fighting for one last shot at glory.
