What critics compared The Benchwarmers to
There's also a flatulent big grandma with an infected toe, spoiled kids, a couple of hot babes to ogle and some shots to the crotch to be dispensed, all under the uninspired direction of Dennis Dugan ("You Don't Mess with the Zohan," "The Benchwarmers").
Adam Sandler (2009's " Funny People "), Kevin James (2009's " Paul Blart: Mall Cop "), Chris Rock (2010's " Death at a Funeral "), David Spade (2006's " The Benchwarmers "), and Rob Schneider (2005's " Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo ") share an easy-going chemistry, and no wonder; they're all real-life friends.
"Grown Ups" has fewer laughs than "The Benchwarmers," "Little Nicky" or "Lost & Found."
Even though he and his production company let me down in the critically panned “The Hot Chick,” “50 First Dates,” “The Longest Yard,” “The Benchwarmers,” “Click,” “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” and on and on, I honestly always give Sandler a chance even though his humor almost never works for me.
