It has some funny moments, but at times is a little disrespectful and unoriginal

Rating: 5/10 (23 September 2006)

I think in some way down the road, this might turn out to be a cult classic to some, but I'm not seeing that any time soon. I really didn't want to see The Benchwarmers, I mean, come on, Rob Schneider, Jon Heder, and David Spade? Some pretty dorky actors that have little comedic experience, but one of my friends told me that she thought this movie was hilarious and that I should give it a chance, so I figured why not?
While there were some funny scenes and memorable lines, over all the movie did deliver pretty well. Just these three guys who claim they've never had a chance to play baseball start a team and go up against little leaguers. But some hidden secrets start to rise up about their past lives and the present and could possibly break up the team. My main complaint I think about this film is that it has gross humor, I can take some, but it didn't really seem necessary for this film. It could've been fine on it's own.
Another thing I wanted to say that I felt was disrespectful, I mean, if you don't take it seriously it was kinda funny, the albino who was agoraphobic. He had a few good laughs, he delivered some lines and acts with great comedic timing, but it was just a smidge over done and just seemed silly. But I wouldn't mind recommending this to someone if they enjoy a low brain comedy, it's not that bad, but it's not laughing on the floors funny.
5/10
