"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.

MovieWeb Reviews:

"To paraphrase William Friedkin, movies aren't made to be hung in the Louvre. Films should entertain people and if they don't do that than they don't fulfill their primary purpose. This should be your mindset when you screen The Benchwarmers."

- Evan Jacobs

"This won't win any Oscars, Golden Globes or BAFTA's, but it should win over many people, nerd and non-nerd alike, with its amusing yet realistic story, and for Rob Schnieder finally coming out of his shell. I hate eating my words, but I'll be dining on them tonight."

- Brian Gallagher
