Time Out

Though not entirely incapable of provoking a smile (or two), The Benchwarmers strikes out.

But really, this is still a silly Adam Sandler comedy and its got a lot of juvenile jokes going for it.

If theres a bad getting hit in the crotch gag, director Dennis Dugan hasnt seen it.

And the spectacle of defeated jocks groaning beneath self administered nipple twists will not soon be forgotten.
Boston
2.0
Highbrow humour is not the films strong point but theres no faulting the sincerity of this against all odds comedy.

This is less a movie than a catalog of bodily excretions and secretions.
Mountain X

Scarier still is that this morphing of The Bad News Bears and a Three Stooges episode parades its dumbness with such zip that it almost passes for cle ..

1.0
An unfunny, unfocused sub SNL baseball comedy that makes the likes of Joe Dirt and Deuce Bigalow seem vintage.
Empire

The films cardinal sin is its complete waste of the arguably genuine comic talent it has assembled.

If this movie were as funny as The Hot Chick, I might be willing to put aside my disbelief.

Its a movie where grown men play baseball against prepubescent children, and youre supposed to root for the adults.

The Benchwarmers is better than it should have been. Only, thats not saying much.

If there can be a compliment paid to The Benchwarmers outside of perhaps the catchy soundtrack, it is that the picture manages to never be boring even ..
The Movie Boy

That is but the most spectacular misstep in a flick that is nothing but missteps, even when you grade on the Farrelly Brothers curve.

But by trying to create that old magic with the new hot slacker du jour Heder and ripping off The Bad News Bears story Sandler fails.

Only the reliably funny Jon Lovitz delivers his lines with any aplomb, providing just a few laughs in this otherwise horrid movie.
Boxoffice Magazine

A very bad movie and that unfortunately will raise enough money at the box office to continue financing this kind of nonsense.

This film is 100% silly stupid.If you dont like fart jokes, dont go see it.

Movie Crypt
2.5
The screenplay overall misses far more than it hits, but it is actually the fun supporting cast that lifts the film out of certain comedic hell.
From The Balcony
4.5
It doesnt take a genius to work out whats on offer: toilet humour, physical comedy, more toilet humour and an Americans do it best schmaltzy climax.

In the last line of the film, as the final credits thankfully disappear, Richie casually says that was a waste of time wasnt it Yes. Definitely.
