Benchwarmers 2: Breaking Balls

I'm really not sure why it's called Benchwarmers 2 because there is virtually none of the original cast. Also when watching this movie put away all logic because it doesn't make since. It is one of those movies that's so bad it's funny, and I think they embraced it. Do not take this movie seriously at all and you can have a good time wasting a few hours.

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.

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

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.
