Movie Story


"The Benchwarmers" tells the story of three guys who try to make up for their lack of athleticism when they were younger by forming a three-man baseball team to challenge a full squad of elementary school baseballers. They develop a large following of left-out kids as they head for a high-stakes, winner-take-all game with the best team of kids in the state.

Best movie I have Ever seen

posted by guitarman95 on Aug 21, 2006

I thought it was really funny. The people who are rating it low are either upset because they have deep-seeded problems with the jokes (such as having the problems being made fun of) or prefer 'funny' movies like side-ways, that should have been thrown in the garbage and never sent to the big screen. The cast is wonderfully funny, and I recommend the movie to anyone who can stand to laugh.
