About This Movie
The Benchwarmers has this weird charm, like a time capsule of early 2000s comedy. Dennis Dugan directs a trio of unlikely heroes—Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Jon Heder—who are just looking to relive their baseball dreams. The humor feels a bit juvenile, but that’s part of its laid-back appeal. It captures that nostalgic vibe of missed childhood chances and the silliness of adult life. The pacing is pretty loose, with a lot of gags that vary in effectiveness; some land well, others feel a bit flat. There’s a certain warmth in their camaraderie, though, even if it's wrapped in slapstick. Practical effects pop up here and there, adding a nice touch to the overall goofy atmosphere.
Released April 7, 2006 in theaters.DVD includes deleted scenes and commentary.Filmed primarily in California.Runtime: 80 minutes, PG-13 rating.
