There was no way to advertise that element of the film without giving the ending away.

Fair enough, but the ads do make it seem like a classic American "under dog prevails" kind of a movie. I will probably never see this movie now, so I won't really be able to judge it.

I will say for the under dog prevails fans, like I've become, you can't beat Dodgeball.

Miramax pulled such a trick with The Crying Game to hype a film in America that did "ho hum" business in England.

"Don't give away the ending!" "What is the secret?" "Have you heard about the Crying Game?"
