Could have done so much more with it. Although it's still all right.

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2012)

The Benchwarmers follows Gus, Richie and Clark as they play baseball to make up for missed opportunities in grade school due to them being bullied so much. So they form a team with just the three of them to compete against little league teams.
I like Rob Schneider. I think most of his films are quite funny. This one is an exception. I felt it tried too hard to be funny and it just didn't come off. However, there still was a few funny moments. I think if they strayed away from fart, puke and crap jokes, maybe it could have been better. Because the characters were good, and the backbone of the story line could have been utilized more competently.
The film is a usual Schneider film so if you don't like him, you probably won't like this. But if you do like him, you will probably like this. It is just plain, stupid humor. And plain, stupid humor isn't for everybody. Nick Swardson has, somewhat, of a funny role. Every time he was on camera he made me laugh. I was saddened to find he co-wrote the screenplay because he's a lot funnier than this.
If it's coming off that I didn't like the film then let me correct that. I did like it, it was enjoyable to watch. There was just so much more they could have done with it if they had more competent writers.
