Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2006)

For the nerd in all of us, Gus, Ritchie, and Clark have come to play baseball for missed opportunities.
When young Nelson, the son of billionaire Mel, is bullied by some nasty little league players, Gus comes to defend him followed by video rental clerk Ritchie and paper boy Clark. Challenged to a game of 3 on 9, Gus single-handedly beats the 9 opponents.
Challenged again, with Nelson and Mel watching, the Benchwarmers win again. Mel decides that he must sponsor them for him, his son, and nerds everywhere.
Thus, Mel holds a little league tournament with a team of three grown men. What follows is a series of laughs, forgiveness, and lighthearted comedy.
Starring Rob Schneider as Gus, David Spade as Ritchie, and Jon Heder as Clark, "The Benchwarmers" is a comedy showing us that it is never too late to take a stand and to play the All-American passtime. Go see it for Jon Heder. Go see it for the baseball. Go see it for the laughs. Go see it for a break from the real world.
7/10
