I rented Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story last night and found myself actually liking it. Admittedly, I saw it on the recommendation of friends and not the plot summary (“cast of misfits and token hot girl raise money via dodgeball tournament to thwart evil competitor”), but it was funnier than the movie’s own advertising would have you believe. Every ad I saw for the theatrical release made it look stupid and corny, which is why I avoided it.
