It's not great comedy, but it has its moments. Many of these moments you've already seen in the trailers... worth watching if like fart jokes and idiot slapstick.

Reviews for The Benchwarmers
The Benchwarmers doesn't know what it wants to be, so it ends up a mostly unsatisfying mixture of sweet and sour.
04/12/06
Substituting Sandler with Schneider in the lead role is like filling your gas tank with urine instead of unleaded.
04/07/06
It's so bad, it should be viewed only through a pinhole in a shoebox, much like an eclipse.

Top CriticThe Benchwarmers strikes out. Again and again and again.
05/13/06
Like pretty much everything else bearing Happy Madison's name, The Benchwarmers kind of sucks.
04/13/06
The Benchwarmers is better than it should have been. Only, that's not saying much.
06/06/06
It gives me a perverse pleasure to announce that The Benchwarmers is not terrible, not terrible at all.

Only the reliably funny Jon Lovitz delivers his lines with any aplomb, providing just a few laughs in this otherwise horrid movie.
05/06/06
It doesn't take a genius to work out what's on offer: toilet humour, physical comedy, more toilet humour and an Americans-do-it-best schmaltzy climax.

These geeks really aren't people, and the bad guys don't need moustaches to twirl when they accomplish as much with an old fashioned titty-twister.

An Adam Sandler movie without Adam Sandler, THE BENCHWARNERS offers the worst of all worlds.

Manages to never be boring even when it is a complete waste of talent, film stock and the audience's time and money.
04/07/06
It won't surprise anyone that Heder is not at his best here, but when you find yourself thinking that Spade and Schneider deserve better material, that's saying a lot.
04/08/06
This is, for all its supposed charms, a very nasty little movie.
04/06/06
Even Jon Lovitz with a Batmobile, a dwarf attack in a playroom, and David Spade’s best wig ever can’t save this mawkish misfire.
06/02/06
The three losers play a series of Little League teams, snatching victory from the jaws of slapstick humiliation.
