(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 19% Rotten Page   1   C "To my shock, The Benchwarmers is not as unwatchable as one would expect -- and this is coming from someone who detests Napoleon Dynamite, is tired of David Spade, and could do without Rob Schneider any given day."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark B- "Well, outside of the jokes about nose-picking, animal feces, small genitalia, homophobia, urinating in the shower, flatulence, and co-starring the reigning king of unfunny, Jon Heder, Benchwarmers is actually a passably funny motion picture."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "An Adam Sandler movie without Adam Sandler, THE BENCHWARNERS offers the worst of all worlds."   Common Sense   Cynthia Fuchs 1/5 "This is, for all its supposed charms, a very nasty little movie."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2/4 "...ultimately nothing more than a silly, egregiously sentimental comedy..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1.5/4 "Manages to never be boring even when it is a complete waste of talent, film stock and the audience's time and money."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D+ "If there's a bad getting-hit-in-the-crotch gag, director Dennis Dugan hasn't seen it."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "The Benchwarmers is basically another dreadful and repetitive sophomoric session of misplaced potty humor that has all the devilish ingenuity of a corked baseball bat."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D "Pretty terrible--a movie fashioned for the arrested development set (not those addicted to the fondly-remembered TV series, but those suffering from the psychological malady)."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/10 "This comedy made me laugh exactly 3 times during its entire 80-minute run."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3.0/4.0 "You won't know whether to roll your eyes or smile like a fool, but you will know you've been entertained."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3/5 "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."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 1.5/4 "[The film] contains a couple of funny bits, like Jackson teaching fast reflexes through doorbell-ringing pranks, but you have to slog through a lot of done-to-death bodily function jokes to get to them."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh C+ "The Benchwarmers is funnier than it probably had any right to be, but the tedious repetition of the tournament games strands the film on second rather than bringing it in to score."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "A grossout comedy featuring three vomit scenes, two with chunks, and a grown man who eats his own boogers in public is the movie that Rob Schneider believes is his One Big Chance to be seen as a Serious Actor."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 0.5/5 "An idiotic piece of filmmaking."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro 2/4 "The Benchwarmers doesn't know what it wants to be, so it ends up a mostly unsatisfying mixture of sweet and sour."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan D "These guys should have stayed on the bench."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/4 "The Benchwarmers features a talking robot butler. If you're wondering what a talking robot butler has to do with Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Jon Heder playing baseball against children, the answer is: absolutely nothing."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3.5/5 "revels in its freak tendencies"   Filmcritic.com   Pete Croatto 1/10 "There's a reason this comedy was not screened for critics. It strikes out, except at Pizza hut which must be thrilled with its product placements."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 19% Rotten Page   1
