Goofs:
Continuity: Reggie Jackson was born in 1946. For him and Mel to have been tuba camp together, it would have to have happened in the early 1960's. The photo depicts hairstyles and clothing more suited for the 1970's. Also, this would make Mel a person who should be in his late 50's or just turning 60. His character is far young then that in the film. more

Title says it all- Movie Belongs on Bench, 13 August 2006
4/10
Author: DKOSTY from United States

Benchwarmers is where this film belongs, on the bench unless you've got nothing else to see. If you like some of the cast members, this is a film to watch but the script is kind of lame at several points. You have to set reality aside to look for the jokes & even some of those miss the mark. In fact, quite a few of them do. Even David Spade is not as funny in this as he is in other roles. My favorite actor in the whole thing is the house keeping robot. He is the unique idea & quite cool. Too bad the rest of the film isn't as original. They try to elevate ordinary people from the bench to superstars, but in the end the idea is old & falls short of what you'd like to see & short in the punchline department. A fairly talented cast is wasted here & can't overcome the weak script.
