Benchwarmers 2: Breaking Balls

Not only is this one of the worst sequels ever, it's one of the worst movies ever. It tries desperately hard to be funny and make sense but doesn't accomplish either of those things. It was just really really bad.

I've seen a lot of bad movies in my day, but yikes. This one might be the worst.

Star baseball player Ben McGrath (Chris Klein) was on the verge of the major leagues when he gets nailed in the nuts. It ends his career before it starts. Years later, he is divorced and a disappointment to his son. He graduates from night school to be a lawyer. Nobody is willing to hire him except for Stenhouse (Lochlyn Munro). It turns out that Stenhouse wants him to be the baseball ringer but he is petrified by PTSD. Stenhouse fires him. In a bar, he gets hired by low rent lawyer Mel Carmichael (Jon Lovitz) who wants him to manage the company softball team.

As a comedy, it's not that funny. Its humor is broad but thin. Chris Klein has done worst. The supporting actors are all nobodies. The story actually functions but unimaginative. This is generally weak. It's a bad movie but at least, it's a functioning one.

I wasn't looking for something to move mountains here. I was looking for something I could enjoy with a little herb, and it worked great. The CGI background when he goes to get his kid is so bad it is good. Seeing Chris Klein just deliver lines with the enthusiasm of an overnight Walmart cashier. But hey-it made me laugh here and there, so I will take it

Keep the actors that made the original good! Missing important people and put in bad replacements.
