Dodgeball largely holds up well after all these years, despite the very flimsy premise which stitches the whole 'dodgeball' element together.
Vince Vaughn is better than usual and Ben Stiller captures the insane Globo Gym owner perfectly. Christine Taylor is also brilliant, though the lesbian-bi-polygamous twist at the end is an unnecessary joke and hasn't aged well.
The main strength is the brilliant dialogue which which gives birth to classic quotes such as 'dodge duck dip dive and... dodge'.
There is plenty of physical comedy if that is your thing, and the last thirty minutes are very action heavy, but this doesn't stop the cathartic feeling of the finale.
The death of peaches feels really cheap and the Lance Armstrong cameo hasn't aged well either.
