Synopsis

The Benchwarmers (2006) is a sports comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Three grown men who never got their shot as kids build a three-player baseball team and set out to settle old scores for every picked-on nerd around.

Gus, Richie and Clark — played by Rob Schneider, David Spade and Jon Heder — know exactly what it feels like to be the easy target. After they catch a pack of bullies tormenting a friend's son, the trio challenges the local little league squads to a string of games. Just the three of them against full rosters. Suddenly every geek and outcast in town has someone playing for them. John Lovitz, Nick Swardson and Terry Crews fill out the cast.

Dennis Dugan directs, the regular hand behind Adam Sandler's run of comedies like Happy Gilmore and Big Daddy, with Sandler himself producing. The humor is broad and crude, aimed squarely at a mid-2000s teen crowd — nobody's coming for subtle satire, but fans of that Happy Madison style get precisely what they signed up for.
