    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

    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.

    The Oracle says: Lance (I) Armstrong has a Bacon number of 2.

    Lance (I) Armstrong was in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) with Cayden Boyd
    Cayden Boyd was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon

    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.
