Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview with Howard Stern, Adam Sandler said he specifically cast David Spade and Rob Schneider to force them to work together in order to smooth over a rift that the two had with each other.
- GoofsAfter the opposing team in the finals of the tournament let Nelson get a hit, when rounding third base, he does not touch it on his way to home plate. Because of this, the home run should not have counted. However, in order for the base runner to be called out, the opposing team must challenge the play. The proper procedure would be before throwing the next pitch, throw the ball to the base that was missed. Then announcing to the umpire that the base runner failed to touch the base. If this is not done before the next pitch then the base runner is safe.
- Quotes
Richie: [after hitting the ball] I ticked it, it hit the bat!
Charlie Catcher: You're ssstill out.
Richie: You're ssstill fat!

Ultimate guilty pleasure for me
I absolutely love this whacky comedy/nerdy movie maybe cause I have autism I connect with it differently! Denis Dugan has made a bunch of silly comedies this is one of the most ridiculous out there not appreciated much and it's understandable. I love the humor so much and how it flows; I never get tired of it maybe cause I respect quirky beings. Benchwarmers is wonderfully fun for what it is!
