The Benchwarmers
Get off the bench and get into the game.
Gus and his nerdy buddies, Richie and Clark, are scouted by a millionaire nerd, Mel, who wants to form a baseball team and compete with the meanest Little League teams in the state.
A stellar ballplayer, Gus becomes a role model for nerds and outcasts everywhere. But when his fans learn that Gus, himself, was once a school bully, they feel outraged and betrayed, until Gus takes extraordinary steps to win back their admiration and trust.

The best David Spade has been in some time - McGabe
I knew this movie wouldn't knock me off my socks when I rented it but hey, what else are you going to do on a Tuesday night.
I think David Spade was excellent. The best he's been since Tommy Boy.
There were a lot of cute kid moments which make the movie fun for the whole family.NOT GREAT BUT WORTH WATCHING - len1970
This may not be a super movie or a masterpiece but if all you want is to be entertained for a couple of hours then you may wanna watch this one, especially if you like baseball and played it when you were a kid. The movie has parts that it can do without but there are worse ones out there so just give it a try.Much better than I expected. - Largestill
Three "Losers" team up to play baseball against Little League kids to prove that all children should be given a chance to play; even if they're not that great.
When you see David Space or Rob Schneider's names in the title credits, normally they're only good for a few groaners and background characters. Surprisingly - with Jon Heder bringing excellent physical comedy to the forefront with his character - this movie provided some great moments.
Don't expect any Oscars here; but it's worth a rent if you have a rainy afternoon in.
