The good reviews herein were paid for -- unless a bunch of Special Olympians got on-line after watching this waste of time -- can I get my two hours back? The person resposible should be sent to prison for every hour wasted....

Beginning to notice pattern here. how come some moron comes on Metacritic and gives something a 10 because everyone rubbished it......... given it a 3, there was a couple of times i did laugh out loud, but this on the whole is terrible.

No, just no. I saw this movie since Scary Movie was sold out hoping this would of been funny...it wasn't. My buddies and I walked out on this thing, there was probably 2-3 moments that made me laugh, but then they reused those 2-3 No, just no.

I am very, very dssapointed that I am not able to give a score lower than a zero as a rating for this god-forsaken abomination of a film. I am a big Napoleon fan and a big fan of this directors work on Adam Sandler's first two feature I am very, very dssapointed that I am not able to give a score lower than a zero as a rating for this god-forsaken abomination of a film. I am a big Napoleon fan and a big fan of this directors work on Adam Sandler's first two feature films (especially Happy Gilmore). That being said, this movie is pure garbage. As my brother put it (who saw it with me) "that was The Matrix of bad movies...it defied all boundries of how bad you thought a movie could be. The saddest part of it is to me, that this could be the fastest falling a new star, in Jon Heder, in the history of Hollywood. The only saving grace for me while seeing this film, was that I got to see it in a theatre that serves beer and nachos.… Expand

I laughed maybe twice. It just wasn't funny, and normally I laugh at movies like this.

I had high hopes for this movie as Rob Schneider can be either super hilarious (Hot Chick, Deuce Bigalow) or completely lame (the Animal, Deuce 2 ). Benchwarmers unfortunately was the latter. There were only three funny parts in the whole I had high hopes for this movie as Rob Schneider can be either super hilarious (Hot Chick, Deuce Bigalow) or completely lame (the Animal, Deuce 2 ). Benchwarmers unfortunately was the latter. There were only three funny parts in the whole movie and the rebirth of Napoleon Dynamite sucked. The actor just played the same character as in ND but was so boring and unfunny. What really kills this movie is that it's a FAMILY MOVIE. Happy ending, positive message and all the wholesome BS that stifles creative comedy and in particular Rob Schneider' and David Spade's genius. Don't see this movie. It's a waste of time and money and talent.… Expand

The absolute worst. Old jokes that weren't funny when they were new. A rehash of Revenge of the Nerds. David Spade is insuffesrable.

Wow, this movie is seriously bad. I've seen people saying stuff that like you can't rate this on the same level as a drama and what not. They're right. However, I'm not. I'm rating this as a comedy. I maybe somewhat Wow, this movie is seriously bad. I've seen people saying stuff that like you can't rate this on the same level as a drama and what not. They're right. However, I'm not. I'm rating this as a comedy. I maybe somewhat laughed once; the rest of the time I just kept thinking "How much worse can this get?" The only redeeming factor is that it is less than 90 minutes. That still doesn't do enough to help it to even a 1. Save your money, and don't rent this. You'll regret it.… Expand

Most people thought this movie was stupid, but funny. I disagree. I thought it was stupid and NOT funny. Schneider had no funny lines and the comedy was immature, even though my 7 year old brother didn't think it was funny either.

I'm stunned that this film was made at all, an executive in a studio signed off on it, funds were raised to produce it and pay the actors. Seriously, I could have written the script when I was in 5th grade--on a bad day.

I wasn't expecting "The Godfather" when I took my seat, but really, how many fart jokes can I handle in one movie? All of the "heroes" get the hot girls, while the villains are latent homosexuals. Really nothing redeeming in this film, except for the preview for "Nacho Libre" before the movie started. It was all downhill from there.… Expand

This is truly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The plot is nonsensical and predictable, the use of words like "gay" and "retard" is embarrassing, and of course it makes fun of midgets.

You would have to be higher that God in the heavens to actually enjoy a sliver of this movie. There is no way to see this as an actual film.
