		While there are only a few benchwarmers sitting on those hard metal chairs in each gym, watching the action unfold in front of them, their numbers add up.

	'The Benchwarmers' - Zap2it
		"The Benchwarmers" is a movie for anyone who ever saw "Revenge of the Nerds," and wondered what it would be like if the nerds weren't particularly good at math, and had to try softball.
		"The Benchwarmers" casts Schneider as a California gardener who drags his loser buddies David Spade and Jon Heder into the world of little league, the better to teach those smug, well-financed hotshots -- and their jock parents -- some valuable life lessons by trouncing them on the field.
		But "The Benchwarmers" really exists as a staging area for a series of odd, silly and mostly engaging jokes at the expense of Spade and Heder, and a propping-up of geeks in general.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE BENCHWARMERS
		Most of the sound is localized to the forward soundstage, while the surrounds provide mostly general ambience and musical fill, as well as an occasional active sound effect.
		THE BENCHWARMERS features two separate running audio commentaries; the first is with director Dennis Dugan, while the second includes actors David Spade and Jon Heder.
		THE BENCHWARMERS is a perfectly enjoyable eighty-minute time waster, which will appeal to fans of the other movies that have come out of Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions.

	IGN: Benchwarmers Review
		The boy's insanely rich father, Mel (Jon Lovitz), is impressed by the men standing up for nerdy "benchwarmers" of society like his son, and funds a baseball tournament in which the trio of grown men play against the local little league teams.
		Benchwarmers instead has three lead roles, and none of them are very well thought out.
		The Benchwarmers is the kind of bad comedy where the only genuine humor comes from unintentional sources.

	TheMovieBoy Review - The Benchwarmers (2006)
		At 80 minutes, "The Benchwarmers" is so mercifully short that the movie is already at the semi-finals of the season by the time the first act feels like it should be ending.
		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 when it is a complete waste of talent, film stock and the audience's time and money.
		The sad thing is that Sony Pictures and Revolution Studios, who refused to screen this in advance for the press because they know they have trash on their hands and also know that kids will go see it anyway, are laughing all the way to the bank.

		In Revolution Studios’ comedy The Benchwarmers, three underdogs (Rob Schneider, David Spade and Jon Heder) form a three-man baseball team to challenge a full squad of elementary school baseball bullies.
		Dugan admits he related to the concept of being a benchwarmer because he was one when as a kid.
		Glad to be working with Happy Madison again, particularly on a movie about baseball, it was only when he was in production that Dugan realized “how difficult it is to shoot a movie about baseball, because the field is so vast.

	Blu-ray Review: The Benchwarmers \| High-Def Digest
		Certainly, Heder would have never landed 'The Benchwarmers' if it wasn't for 'Napoleon Dynamite.' He's also more of the supporting player here -- this baseball-dingbat comedy is really a vehicle for the aging shtick of Rob Schneider and David Spade.
		Seeing that 'The Benchwarmers' is the cinematic equivalent of a Twinkie, perhaps it will be looked back upon as a transition point in Heder's ascension to a leading comic actor.
		Nothing here is memorable, though they do attempt to expand on the character of Gus' wife a bit, who was pretty underutilized in the final cut.

		The Benchwarmers is the kind of movie that is made to make people laugh and feel good.
		In short, The Benchwarmers is a good, fun ride for all those who wish to take it.
		Granted, The Benchwarmers version of normal is probably a bit different than the rest of the world's, but I think you get the point I am making.

		Though mainstream moviegoers will find the subject matter daunting, rewards await those willing to set aside their bourgeois philosophies and wallow in the film's epistemological ruminations.
		Benchwarmers is a physically static film in the tradition of My Dinner With Andre.
		The entire movie takes place at a bus stop, where three men in various stages of emotional crisis sit on the bench and discuss the nature of being.

	The Benchwarmers - Rotten Tomatoes
		If The Benchwarmers were a real ball game, the mercy rule would end the punishment in the first 15 minutes.
		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.
		Filled with sprays of vomit, fountains of spit and enough hot body air to launch a flotilla of passenger balloons, The Benchwarmers is the sort of trash that Hollywood does really well.

	Benchwarmers, The (2006): Reviews
		The Benchwarmers tells the story of three guys (Schneider, Spade, Heder) 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.
		Yes, the plot is terrible, some of the jokes are terrible, and Rob Schneider's bizarre from-the-neck-up oxblood tan is terrible, but the movie as a whole is a more-than-acceptable addition to the genre of shameless and hastily made American comedy.
		From the beginning to its very end, The Benchwarmers seems to be struggling to justify its own existence.

	Amazon.ca: The Benchwarmers: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The benchwarmers is a comedy baseball movie starring stars Rob Schneider,John Heider and more.These actors are really funny guy you probably seen Rob Schneider in movies like `the animal` and John Heider in `napoleon dynamite`they are a winning combinaison.
		The movie was incredible everybody in the audience seemed to love it.There are lots of funny scenes like john heider unintentienly throwing his baseball bat at squirrels.The benchwarmers arent really good at baseball only Gus is talented.But the rest of the team gets better,they play playoffs at one point.
		The humor is perhaps a little more clear cut (and a little cruder) than the very dry delivery presented in Napoleon Dynamite, but The Benchwarmers still delivers in full the same nerd-oriented humor that many people fell in love with.

	The Benchwarmers Review at Hollywood.com
		Schneider and Spade have already proven to be one-note talents--Spade's little bratty boy routine is running as thin as is Schneider's hairline.
		We have already be subjected to Grandma's Boy--and now Benchwarmers.
		Benchwarmers is just a waste of time for anyone over 12.

	The Benchwarmers (2006)
		Maybe so, but in the meantime, the trio, now officially known as The Benchwarmers, becomes the great hope among the nerd community.
		Beyond the gross-out humor, the tip off that this is a movie purely aimed at the wee ones is the casting; the adult roles are cast as if the actors were all the same age.
		Based on The Benchwarmers, it would appear to be the latter.

	The Benchwarmers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Rob Schneider, Jon Heder and David Spade star in the new comedy "The Benchwarmers." This film hits a home run with its message but fouls out in the humor department.
		"The Benchwarmers" has some funny moments but too many of those are crude and/or cruel.
		As the rating says, you might want to keep the kids under thirteen away from this one.

		Lovitz is particularly funny as a nerd-turned-billionaire who spitballs the idea of "The Benchwarmers" team.
		The trio of Rob Schneider, David Spade and Jon Heder play three nerdish guys who decide it's time to show the little jocks in the neighborhood what it's like to be the kids who never got to play ball and had to suffer embarrassment at the jocks' expense.

	'The Benchwarmers' - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		The logical extension of such a mind-set is "The Benchwarmers," in which the aforementioned Clark, weaselly video-store clerk Richie (David Spade) and regular-Joe handyman Gus (Rob Schneider) team up to play against thuggish elementary-school-age baseball players.
		Gus is the only one who's got skills while Clark and Richie are so clueless about the game that by the time they get their first hit, they don't know which way to run to first base.
		One supposes "The Benchwarmers" justifies its existence in submitting a plea for tolerating, even respecting, school outcasts everywhere.

	Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema: The Benchwarmers
		In THE BENCHWARMERS a trio of adult misfits stand up for those kids riding the pine or not even allowed on a baseball team.
		To entice participation in the competition Mel offers a majestic baseball stadium as the prize, but his motivation is for the Benchwarmers to show up the bullying athletes and their obnoxious parents.
		There’s nothing subtle about what Schneider, Spade, and Heder are doing in their performances, but they play immaturity in all its amusing awkwardness rather than the cuddliness Sandler tries to bring to his characters.
