What Parents Need to Know
About Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
Parents need to know that this is meant to be silly fun -- teens and parents who love Adam Sandler-style humor will enjoy it very much. Those who don't should avoid it. The movie has some very mature material for a PG-13 including explicit sexual humor with jokes about adultery, group sex, pornography, genital size, bondage, and homosexuality along with some very strong language including many double entendres featuring the word "balls." Characters drink frequently, including drinking to dull pain. The coach taunts the team by calling them "ladies."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about some of their own experience in feeling like an underdog. What should Pete have done when White made him an offer? Families could also talk about perseverance, and the comment made by one character that "if a person never quits after the going gets rough, they won't have anything to regret for the rest of their lives."

Hilarious comedy, well worth seeing
Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn star in this raunchy comedy for older teens. If you're okay with strong, un-subtle sexual references and slightly strong language, then you will definitely enjoy this film. Big laughs for slightly old and predictable jokes, but stilll one of my all-time favorite movies.

hilarious
This is a must see for all teenagers. I love this movie and can watch it again and again always laughing. Reading the adult reviews i can see how some parents wouldn't want there kids to see it,but it's a comedy, there is going to be sexual humor and if your only looking at the bad stuff then your not going to enjoy the movie at all. It is a really good movie for anyone 12+ but anyone under may not understand some of the situations and the jokes.

My family loves this movie!
And I do too. However it's pretty bad for a PG-13. There r sexual jokes about everything from oral sex to bisexuality to Ben Stiller putting a pizza slice down his pants (WTF?). Also there's bad language including a middle finger as well as violence, but that's expected. Anyone over 12 can handle Dodgeball. If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball!

Completely Bad
Sex: Very explicit. For some unknown reason Ben Stiller is putting a pizza down his pants (wha...?), and for one of their matches the Average Joes wear leather (as in bondage clothing) because their uniforms got mixed up. Violence: all comical, but a fair amount. Language: Lots. Overall, it's just plain stupid.

really funny
other than the balls in largement i would say it would be ok for 13 and up
