Nerds vs Jocks... haven't we seen that before???

Rating: 4/10 (4 April 2006)

This movie is a classic formula, nerds vs the jocks. Most of the jokes you can see coming a mile away... although they do bring some new stuff to the table. But not much. To be honest "Benchwarmers" has some great moments but beware the potty humor, this movie has plenty of it.
It was great to see Jon Lovitz as a billionaire whose home would give every obsessive star wars fan a wet dream. Seeing Lovitz sporting a Hasselhoff leather jacket and driving the car from Knight Rider is funny stuff.
David Spade is annoying as usual with his dry quips. I wonder if it was intentional to have him wear what looks like Chris Farley's hair-do from Tommy Boy.
John Schneider was surprisingly low key and likable. No Duece Bigalow here.
I keep wondering if Jon Heder will play anything other than variations on the Napoleon Dynamite character? I hope so.. the dude's got talent.
Nick Swardson was great as David Spades brother "Howie". He has done a lot of work on the Reno 911 series and it is great to see him on the big screen.
Anyway... I'm not here to stand on a pedestal and talk smack about this movie or any movie. If you are into these kind of movies... "Slobs vs The establishment" you might like it. But if you want my opinion don't waste your time driving to the theater to see this one wait four months and rent the DVD.
That way you can turn it off if you really hate it.
