    I am shocked no one has posted about this yet.

    This is the first bit of on-screen fiction Lance has taken
    part in. Has anyone seen it and wish to comment?

    Lance was the best part of the movie 😉

    Ebert and Roeper gave Dodgeball two thumbs up. It's more
    entertaining than most of what goes on in this forum.

  4. Lance has to change careers and quickly, his racing days are
    over. Win or lose, he will quit.

    It's just silly, stupid, mindless fun. Can't have too
    much of that.

    How about every guy's nightmare. Trying to lift a fat
    cheerleader over your head having her come crashing
    down on you.

    Just saw it yesterday with my daughter--it was a
    nice cameo. I think Lance did fine. The fact that we
    know he is telling the truth about his cancer struck
    a serious note in a very silly movie. It worked for
    me anyway. The movie was funny, but there were a
    couple of things (language etc.) that made me wish I
    hadn't taken my daughter.

    Mick LaSalle, the lead film reviewer for the San Francisco
    Chronicle wrote that Lance's cameo is the most genuine and
    the funniest part of the whole movie.

    Well -- you knew something crude would be happending in a
    Ben Stiller movie! I look forward to seeing Dodgeball soon.
    Of course I have fun memories from 5th and 6th grade
    whipping dodgeballs around in gym class and also outside
    lining up victims against the brick wall of the school in a
    more dangerous verson of the sport.

    Hey, am I the only small, not-very-athletic kid who just
    plain loved dodgeball? I understand that nowadays
    there's some feeling that it's a vicious game etc. etc.,
    but all I remember was how fun it was when the balls
    were coming in like crazy and it was all you could do to
    keep out of the way.

    I mean, it's a non-contact sport, people! I'm not aware of a
    lot of injuries that are possible with one of those
    hilariously soft gym balls.

    Not much bigger, but now I ride more,

    And then there is the variant called slaughter ball, played
    with four or five soccer balls. At least the administration
    talked the coaches out of using medicine balls.

    The best day was when the girls were having a modeling show,
    so there was this long runway built out onto the gym floor.
    You could sneak up and use it to nail someone from close up,
    but I think my nose was broken once by the guy already
    waiting on the other side of the runway
    - about five feet away. What the hey, its only blood...

    The full title is "Dodgeball: a True Underdog Story," but I
    don't believe you can have a True Underdog Story without
    Wally Cox.

    Maybe nobody wanted to post a spoiler. I saw Dodgeball on
    opening day, and was quite surprised to see Lance.

    We played it with fully pumped up volley balls. Catch one of
    those in the nose. I dare ya. ;o) Of course, I remember
    playing it with about thirty guys on each side of the half-
    court line and two juggling pins placed on each side of the
    keys and these were also targets that could cause your team
    to lose if they both got nailed. So there was no just
    standing back and avoiding the balls. You had to protect the
    pins by catching anything that went in their direction. Drop
    the ball and you were out. Of course, taking one for the
    team was looked on with honor.
