The Benchwarmers (2006)

I've been waiting to type this out for a long time so please excuse me if it's not that great. Anyways this is the first movie out of Adam Sandlers production company besides "50 First Dates" that to me hasn't sucked 100%.

This has David Spade, Rob Schneider and Jon Heder in it playing a couple of grown up dudes. Schnieder likes baseball and the other two suck at it. Suprisingly I didn't find Rob Schneider to be that bad with his acting in this flick. There were some cringeworthy cliche moments but overall I found the acting somewhat decent all around...I did watch this very late at night though, so.

Schneider's married and attempting to have kids and the other two are basically losers. They somehow end up in a junion baseball league against a shitload of kids..So yeah it's 30 year olds vs. 13 year olds. -Shrugs.- Jon Lovitz plays a character who 50% of the time I hated and 50% of the time I loved. He's this nerdie guy who after High School became rich. Through one of the ball players our team of benchwarmers meets up with this guy and he funds their team. Of course the team of Benwarmers have a rival team run by some douche bag....of course in the end they go up against the rival team. There's also a subplot about how kids get bullied around and the "hidden past," of Schneiders character. It's actually quite silly..he doesn't want his kids to get bullied around in school and stuff..It's retarded.

This movie..was somewhat funny. It had me laughing, unlike most of the other Happy Madison films. "50 First Dates," is more drama then comedy I think. If it is comedy, then the comedy sucks and isn't funny. I'm straying from the point though. The character Lovitz plays is probably the least funniest to me. He's a nerd who gets rich as I explained earlier but he has his own Robot and all geek shit like a replica of the Knight Rider car. Stuff that sounds funny on paper but when you put it on screen..it's really not funny.

Anyways..The movie was better then I thought it was going ot be. I was expecting complete garbage and what I got was almost garbage. The movies a rental, nothing more..

IMDB link for "The Benchwarmers."

Please do read my previous post about Steve Irwin and his unfortunate and untimely death. Very rarely does the death of a "celeb" bother me but this is just really sad if you ask me. Anyways...what's coming up next?

Coming soon: I have so much shit to review..It depends on what I feel like doing next. Hmm, I think it will be "Lady in the Water."
