Underdog Story revolves around amiable underachiever Peter LaFleur (Vince
Vaughn), whose rundown gym, Average Joe's, is populated by a
less-than-average clientele including a self-styled pirate, an ultra-obscure
sports aficionado, and a pining high school nerd. Despite Average Joe's
posing little threat to Globo Gym, a fitness Goliath owned by White Goodman
(Ben Stiller), Peter's humble recreation center becomes a subject of much
controversy when Goodman learns of his competition's less than meticulous
bookkeeping. Determined to expand his empire, Goodman hires attorney Kate
Veach (Christine Taylor) to initiate a hostile takeover of the gym. Peter's
ragtag group of regulars, however, are less than thrilled with the
prospects, and mobilize a showdown, winner-takes-all Dodgeball tournament
against Globo Gym. The film also features Missi Pyle, Rip Torn, Stephen
Root, and Alan Tudyk. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
