The Benchwarmers is a movie about three friends who were all picked on as kids. They were always bullied and never had the opportunity to play on a baseball team. Two of the three "benchwarmers" do not know anything about baseball. However, they decide to form a baseball team to play against the local team of kids (who are bullies). While their team is not very good, they are supported by all of the kids who were also bullied. This movie has an underlying message that people need to stand up to bullies and show their strength.

I gave this movie four out of four popcorns because it keeps you laughing the entire time. It shows realistic bullying scenarios and funny ways the benchwarmers handle the situations. The characters are also funny. The actors include David Spade, Rob Schneider and Jon Heder (from Napoleon Dynamite). It is a great movie for the entire family because it is funny and also has an important message.
