Dodge Ball DVD Comedy (2005) Ben Stiller Quality Guaranteed Reuse Reduce Recycle

Description

Peter LaFleur owns Average Joe’s Gymnasium, a small, dilapidated gym with only a few members. When he defaults on the gym’s mortgage, it is purchased by the cocky White Goodman, who owns Globo Gym across the street. Unless Peter can raise $50,000 in thirty days, Goodman will foreclose on Average Joe’s and demolish it to build a new auxiliary parking structure for his members. Goodman attempts to seduce attorney Katherine “Kate” Veatch, who is handling his transaction; she is repulsed, but just cites conflict of interest (COI) to refuse his advances. Meanwhile, she becomes close to Peter while reviewing his financial records.
Average Joe’s employees Dwight and Owen and members Steve (who believes he is a pirate), Justin, and Gordon try to raise the money needed to save the gym. After a car wash fails, Gordon suggests they all enter a dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas with a $50,000 prize. The team watches a 1950s-era training video narrated by dodgeball legend Patches O’Houlihan. Girl Scout Troop 417 soundly defeats them in a local qualifying match, but are disqualified due to one member’s use of three separate types of anabolic steroids and a low-grade beaver tranquilizer, handing the win to Average Joe’s by default.
Having spied on Average Joe’s using a hidden camera in a cardboard cutout of himself, Goodman forms his own dodgeball team, the Globo Gym Purple Cobras, to defeat them. The aging and now wheelchair-bound Patches approaches Peter, volunteering to coach the team. Patches’s unusual training regimen includes throwing wrenches at the team, forcing them to dodge oncoming cars, and constantly insulting them. Kate demonstrates skill at the game but declines to join the team, citing COI. Goodman shows up at Kate’s house uninvited and announces that he arranged for her dismissal from her law firm to free her from COI and allow him to date her. Enraged, but now free of COI, Kate joins the Average Joe’s team.
