The Benchwarmers

CriticsCritics: 19
AudienceAudience: 5.8

Three adult friends form a baseball team after seeing children bullied on the field. With help from an enthusiastic coach, they take on local youth teams in a competition that gives them a chance to confront old insecurities, support outsiders, and rediscover the fun of playing.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like lighthearted, deliberately silly comedies with an anti-bullying message, but Not for you if crude jokes, slapstick, or uneven humor quickly wear out their welcome.
