Funny a** movie, one of my all time favorite comedies of all time! I couldn't stop laughing at a lot of parts in the movie and definitely not worth the 25 score, more of above 65 at least, I'd give it a high score.

Really funny and unique. Nick Swardson character is outrageous and Scheider is so likeable. Definately worth seeing, lots of laughs!

*This movie is not NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!* Everyone who is giving this movie low scores must have thought that they were going to see Napoleon Dynamite 2. Sorry if you were disappointed, but the movie was freaking hilarious. I was laughing so *This movie is not NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!* Everyone who is giving this movie low scores must have thought that they were going to see Napoleon Dynamite 2. Sorry if you were disappointed, but the movie was freaking hilarious. I was laughing so hard. This movie is my kind of humor. It's a shame that the critics give it such low scores. Don't pay attention to them. The movie wasn't screened for critics, so the low scores are probably their way at getting back at the makers of the movie. (You didn't get your pre-screen viewing of the movie, WAAHH!) Anyway, if you like movies that Adam Sandler's company makes, you will love this movie. One of the funniest I've seen in a while. I'll probably go back and see it a few more times while waiting to buy the DVD.… Expand

This was just like Napoleon dynamite! Plus it had the guy from Napoleon. The only thing I didn't like was that it was a happy madison production with rob schnider and adam sandler wasnt in it.

I'm no fan of Rob Schnieder, and I usually hate Sandler's films, but Benchwarmers made me laugh more times than I can count. A great deal of that credit goes to Jon Lovitz as Mel Schmegmer, "a nerd who grew up - TO MAKE MILLIONS!"

I thought it was hillarious. I compared it to Dodge Ball, I mean these are the actors we all know and love. I would see it again.

It was actually pretty funny, but the plot was pretty childish for a PG-13 movie. But overall it was decent.

Very entertaining movie. Great to see the SNL old favorites and some great new young talent. As a parents this movie has a great message for kids masked in a bunch of gross humor. Great for the whole family!

i loved this movie. although it is one of those stupid funny movies, it is still funny. rob schneider actually looks relatively decent in this movie, and jon heder and david spade are adorable as your stereotypical nerds. the agoraphobic i loved this movie. although it is one of those stupid funny movies, it is still funny. rob schneider actually looks relatively decent in this movie, and jon heder and david spade are adorable as your stereotypical nerds. the agoraphobic brother running at girl guides with a plastic sword really takes the cake in this movie. its funny, moronic, and charming.… Expand

I went into this movie thinking it was gonna be pretty dumb, but I was wrong. The movie pulled off some really funny stunts and some bathroom humor, but manages to stay mostly clean for younger audiences.

One hilarious movie, Happy Madison had done it again, it even manages to sneak some morals about not bullying others in with the laughs, if you are a fans of comedies then this is a must watch, it's just really fantastic, I highly recommend.

The jokes may be considered hollow and immature but the Benchwarmers has some great gut-busting moments mostly involving Heder's stupidity. It's a stupid comedy and claims to be nothing more, it's strong anti-bullying message is to be admiredThe jokes may be considered hollow and immature but the Benchwarmers has some great gut-busting moments mostly involving Heder's stupidity. It's a stupid comedy and claims to be nothing more, it's strong anti-bullying message is to be admired and a decent cast plays to their strengths on the baseball field. The fart jokes and crude humour may tire the older viewers and those with 'high morals' but for the rest of us? a cracking good movie.… Expand

I think it's a pretty good movie with lots of funny stuff in it. It's basically all slapstick humor, so if you're looking for a more intelligent or smart comedy, look elsewhere, but if you're looking for a stupid comedy, you've found the right movie.
