Short description
When megalomaniacal White Goodman, the owner of a trendy, high-end fitness center, makes a move to take over the struggling local gym run by happy-go-lucky Pete La Fleur, there's only one way for La Fleur to fight back: dodgeball. Aided by a dodgeball guru and Goodman's attorney, La Fleur and his rag-tag team of underdogs launch a knock-down, drag-out battle in which the winner takes all.
What's left behind the scenes
- Justin Long was cut on the eyebrow by the very first screwdriver thrown at him. All the screwdrivers were made of rubber, but the rubber in the first one turned out to be excessively stiff.
- In one scene, the Average Joe's team is shown in the locker room before the final match. All the athletes are wearing long pants, while the heroine, Kristin Taylor, is wearing shorts. The actress did have long sweatpants, but she flatly refused to film in them, calling them "monstrous."
- Before filming began, all the cast members trained to play dodgeball for a month.
- The Spanish phrase that Peter says as he enters the hotel room translates to: "How do I get to the library?"
- An alternative ending to the film can be found on the DVD. The Average Joe's team loses the final match, and a voiceover during the end credits states that the athletes will have to return home empty-handed. This ending was reshot due to audience reaction at a preview screening.
