Benchwarmers

The movie was decent. Unrealistic funny. The movie is like the bad news bears (remake not original), slap stick edition. There are tons of jokes to laugh at while nerds are winning. This movie would be a mixture of the movies: Nerds, Blank Check, and Bad News Bears (remake). Worth the rent, or if you are into those type of movies wait till its at a cheap theater. There is a part towards the end of the movie. I won't ruin it. But its great.

Spade without Farley is like taking a messy shit at work without any toilet paper.

David Spade is funny. Watch the Showbiz Show if you don't believe me.

Is that his new show? If so, I watched this a couple of times to give it a chance. Personally I found it to be unbelievably terrible. As in, who the hell would give the thumbs up to let this be produced. I seriously couldn't believe how bad this was.

As for the movie, I think it looks pretty bad, which is a shame, I'd like to see Heder do something funny.

The movie looks like shit but David Spade is indeed funny half the time.

Showbiz show owns.

DisgruntledOrangatang · 04-12-2006, 10:19 PM

Haha so half the time = owns?

David spade is 1 of many. The guy who played napolean dynamite plays himself again in this gem. Rob Schneider plays the jock , and Jon Lovitz the billionaire. Then there are a slew of cameos of sports people throughout the movie. If you liked Kicking and Screaming, this is the same level with more slapstick.

I give it one thumb up.

Just saw the dvd, i laughed quite a few times, it was a fun movie. Very unrealistic slapstic but funny. Worth renting/buying imo.

He needs to watch out or that charecter is going to be stuck with him for the rest of his life, sure alot of people play the same type of char over and over, Daivd Spade for example. .. but atleast they change somewhat. In Benchwarmers he was Napolean with a diff name, thats all.

I'm not saying this is 100% bad, but you can only get so far with the Napolean persona.

Edit- and yea I loved the movie, David Spade is currently one of my top comedy actors, along with Rob and Adam Sandler (if he would stop trying to do 'serious' movies.)

ill prolly get bashed for saying this but i find adam sandler to be not funny at all, along with rob :< David is semi funny and david + farley were the shit.

Spade's squeels whenever running/doing anything were the funniest thing in the movie. He's a good sidekick.

DiscW · 07-31-2006, 08:53 PM

Spade is horrible when he's trying to act cocky like on his show. It's embarrassing to watch. But he's good in this movie.

They took a bunch of guys that probably can't pull off a movie all by themselves, and they end up doing well as a group. The movie was pretty goddamned funny.

Nick Swardson (the agorophobic) is one of my favorite standups recently, and I loved his few parts in it.

Grimmlokk · 08-01-2006, 08:17 AM

ANd he was fuckin' hilarious in Grandma's Boy.
