Palle al balzo - Dodgeball (2004)
Dodgeball è un ulteriore capitolo della arcinota saga di assalto al botteghino da parte di Ben Stiller e compari. Il film risulta essere parente stretto del precedente Zoolander in quanto a demenzialità. Per il vecchio Ben un ruolo finalmente un pizzico diverso: lo ritroviamo infatti nei panni del cattivissimo e stupidissimo proprietario di una catena di centri di fitness, smanioso di globalizzare anche il più piccolo centro sportivo. Una modesta palestra di periferia cercherà di non farsi piegare economicamente puntando tutto sul primo premio del campionato di Dodgeball, che finirà, nemmeno a dirlo, con una sfida all'ultimo sangue tra i buoni e i cattivi.
