Benchwarmers 2: Breaking Balls

4/10

It is alright

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

I wanted to hate this movie but that didn't happen

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.

Why make a sequel?

This is terrible, I never thought a classic good movie would ever get a sequel. The story is boring, the acting not great, the writing is pretty bad. This movie should never exist

Sequel Rule #1

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

The original was way better

Actors are cool. But the storyline is nonsense. Absolutely stupid.

Unwatchable

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.

Doesn't match up to the original.

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.

Not like the original but oddly entertaining.

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.

The First One Was Bad Enough

After having seen the first Benchwarmers movie which offered the odd chuckle here and there I decided to sit down to watch this, oh how I wish I hadn't It appears that this film is a pocket filler for the actors involved. I don't get why this was even made after the poorly received original Benchwarmers.

Hollywood is definitely dying. Someone, please, put it out of it's misery already.

Laughably bad.

I laughed so hard so many times while watching this movie for all the wrong reasons. If you enjoy laughing at cringe you'll love this amazing garbage can of a movie. Worst movie i've ever seen in my life and it's not even close. 10 stars.

Even funnier...well not MORE funny, but still funny!

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

It is very interesting how they twisted the original formula for this. Instead of being focused on kids being saved by money as a result of nerds controlling the world, we're into a previously famous jock turned lawyer that has softball as a distraction from his job.

A lot of the similarities are there, but instead of focusing on 3 goofs, we have Chris Klein and Chelsey Twist in the mist of their sexual tension. Honestly, it would have been really nice if the kids were more involved.

While the overall quality of the movie is better this time, I do find it harder to get behind the motivations of the characters this time though. At least there's some laughs.

Really might be the worst movie I've seen

Don't know how I even finished this movie, it was awful. It was far from funny don't waste your time watching it.

Wow. Not a good wow either.

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

OMG...it's so bad.

We had to shut it off, it is waste of time unwatchable. Poorly written, acted, edited, photographed. It's really sad that nobody stopped it from being made.

Would not recommend

I expected so much more than this given the first one was pretty good. This never should have been done.

What did the glove say to the ball? Catch ya later.

The title itself should give you a big hint as to what you are about to let yourself in for. The sequel that no-one asked for a we really didn't deserve. But I will be positive as people put time and effort into making this. It reminded me very much of the 80s and 90s films about sports that had a misfit bunch of characters, Necessary Roughness and The Replacements spring to mind. It is good to see Chris Klein back in a film role, though he still has the same expressions as Oz from American Pie and Chelsey Reist throws herself full pelt into the role and teeters between sensible and scary!

I'll be honest, unless you're a huge softball fan or Jon Lovitz fan, or Chris Klein fan or Chelsey Reist fan or you really enjoy films that are bad they're bad, then give this a curve ball, but if you enjoy any of the above, then why not give it a go, just don't blame me.

A seven innings loss for this one, with one of the innings being won by Chelsey Reist and another purely for reminding me of The Replacements, which I may go and watch now.

A hit to the nuts

After watching this, I also felt a hit to the nuts. A hit to the nuts for even choosing to watch this film.

Why?

The only question I could ask myself throughout this movie is "Why?" Just why? Zero connection the original movie except one person that didn't even have the same role. The jokes were dry and meshed together in such a disturbing way. I promise you that there is always going to be something better to watch than this movie. The 2 stars are for the title.

bad but not horrible

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.

The f*%#?

I don't...understand. Despite a couple of jokes that made me chuckle, I don't get this. It was like a cheesy sequel of a cheesier sequel. Like the original budget was $20 million and this was $1 million. And $990,000 went to cameras. The other $1,000 went to writing, acting and scenery combined. 3 main actors should be disappointed and desperate to agree to such garbage. It's like...a Disney/Nickelodeon tv show with swears. So so so bad. Sounds effects and all. I watched this when I had some free time (too much) while staying in a hotel.

Do not expect anything at all.
