Dodgeball
SCORE: 52
I saw Dodgeball for five dollars at a local retailer and decided to pick it up. I figured it would be a forgettable comedy with a few laugh out loud moments. I noticed the PG-13 rating, and realized there was going to be offensive content in this movie. I was right on all counts.
Dodgeball contains a variety of offensive content from sexual deviancy to outright perversion. The plot lines and story in Dodgeball are very predictable. There are plenty of well known people in Dodgeball. I was surprised to see Lance Armstrong after the scandals he was in. But then Dodgeball was released in 2004. Enticement to lust and plenty of bad language as well as offensive gestures can be found in Dodgeball.
There were plenty of laugh out loud moments in Dodgeball. Especially if you find it funny to see people get hit with dodgeballs, wrenches and other objects. There are funny comments like: “if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.” I am sure you can figure out what happened next. Certain rules of the activity become major plot points in Dodgeball.
There are a few special features in Dodgeball. Things like commentary, deleted scenes, gag reel, and an alternate ending. That alternate ending is horrible by the way. Not sure how that would have worked if it was implemented. I got my five dollars worth out of Dodgeball. Certain aspects of the regular ending are a bit hard to swallow. I won’t spoil any of that though.
Dodgeball has its moments. I wish it had been made more family friendly. It had potential and opportunity there, sadly they dropped the ball.
