Title says it all- Movie Belongs on Bench

Rating: 4/10 (13 August 2006)

Benchwarmers is where this film belongs, on the bench unless you've got nothing else to see. If you like some of the cast members, this is a film to watch but the script is kind of lame at several points. You have to set reality aside to look for the jokes & even some of those miss the mark. In fact, quite a few of them do. Even David Spade is not as funny in this as he is in other roles. My favorite actor in the whole thing is the house keeping robot. He is the unique idea & quite cool. Too bad the rest of the film isn't as original. They try to elevate ordinary people from the bench to superstars, but in the end the idea is old & falls short of what you'd like to see & short in the punchline department. A fairly talented cast is wasted here & can't overcome the weak script.
