Dodgeball-A True Underdog Story (2004)

Another day, another Ben Stiller movie, but I admit this one was something of a guilty pleasure, despite Stiller playing his usual nerdy role only this time with a tinge of obnoxiousness (but fair play, I'm pretty sure he chose to take the unsympathetic part here).  He plays a self-made muscle-bound gym owner trying to take over the "Average Joe" gym run by Vince Vaughn.  Vaughn and Christine Taylor (in real life Mrs. Stiller) and their lovable bunch of losers decide to raise the necessary cash by winning a dodgeball tournament even though most of them have never played this school game before and are a bunch of cack-handed weaklings.  Coached by the ferocious wheelchair-bound Rip Torn, they learn how to become winners and get the best of overbearing Stiller.  The film was full of chuckles, albeit some of them low indeed, and as the title has it, it's always great to see the underdogs come home.
