May 8, 2012The Benchwarmers had some minor laughs here and there, but as a memorable comedy it fails to stand out, and doesn't withstand multiple viewings. The comedy factor falls apart after awhile, and you realize how sloppily written this comedy is. The jokes are sometimes comical; howev... read more

June 19, 2011I hated this movie. It was a disgusting, stupid, pointless movie. The acting sucked and im not sure what its supposed to be. I laughed a few times because it was so idiotic, I truly despise this movie.

January 11, 2010fb733768972I have to say, that this film exceeds greatly with it's comedy, but it fails in many other ways! Only, because of that do I give it 3 stars! But I can say that I love this movie!

June 22, 2008If you are into baseball and like cruel humor, this is a movie for you. I wouldn't say that it's a good movie but it has its funny moments.
David Spade and John Heder guarantees laughs but why is Rob Schneider always portraied as a sympathetic loser who's been kicked around far... read more -

Schneider winds up playing straight man to Spade, who once again relies on his snarky coward shtick, and Heder, who comes across like someone doing a bad imitation of ... well, Heder himself in Napole... Full Review

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
It's a movie packed with so many idiot characters that Rob Schneider is cast as the cool guy -- and sort of pulls it off. Full Review

Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Filled with sprays of vomit, fountains of spit and enough hot body air to launch a flotilla of passenger balloons, The Benchwarmers is the sort of trash that Hollywood does really well.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Sandler's latest ode to projectile vomiting, passing gas, gay jokes and physical insults to the groin is basically a feeble cross between The Revenge of the Nerds and The Bad News Bears.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
If Sandler had avoided the lowest-common-denominator humor, recast the adult ballplayers as kids, and found a decent director, he might have had a worthwhile movie. Oh, wait -- it's already been made.... Full Review

It gives me a perverse pleasure to announce that The Benchwarmers is not terrible, not terrible at all. Full Review

It's so bad, it should be viewed only through a pinhole in a shoebox, much like an eclipse. Full Review
