An Average comedy, not horrible, but not that good

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2006)

Dennis Dugan's slapstick comedy, The Benchwarmers is decent, but not the directors best work (Happy Gilmore was much better, Big Daddy was a bit funnier too). But the film is not a total failure, it features Heder in another funny geeky role which is pretty much along the lines of his breakthrough in Napoleon Dynamite. Some of the jokes and plot lines are predictable though i actually liked Schneider here much more than his deuce bigalow flicks. David Spade is wasted in my opinion although he has some funny scenes, overall this is a decent comedy, good for some laughs, but not the best or most original idea.---IMDb Rating: 5.3, my rating: 7/10
