Benchwarmers 2: Breaking Balls

Ah, yes, a sequel to a movie that was silly yet managed to be a good comedy. Well, silly is the sequel, but a solid comedy it isn't. There are a few good laughs but it just is a bit too much nonsense.

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

No one, I mean on ones career could be helped by this movie. I'm ashamed I even watched it

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.

It's definitely a late-night-comedy and a great time killer. I laughed more at this movie than the original. The first few minutes definitely almost made me turn it off, but I just kept watching and stuck through and I'm happy I did. I thought it was going to be a dick&fart joke movie from the first 5 minutes of the movie but I was proven wrong.
