What Parents Need to Know
About The Benchwarmers
Parents need to know that this film is premised on adult men behaving like angry children. The movie features repeated adolescent jokes. There is some profanity and many sexual references. An adult eats his nose boogers and a bug; bullies fart on target-boys; agoraphobic character mocked repeatedly for being pale (afraid of the sun, whiny, and fearful); joke about urine looking like "apple juice"; one boy spits when he talks (Schneider imitates, supposedly to make boy feel less strange, but mostly to prolong a feeble joke); one coach appears "gay," as if this undermines his macho behavior. The games include slapstick, hard-thwacking violence: bats hit bodies, heads, and squirrels in a tree (sending them flying apparently to their deaths); balls hit bodies, bare hands, and heads.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the concept of revenge: Is it possible to feel better if you make other people feel badly? How do the Benchwarmers speak for all self-claimed nerds who feel bullied? How does apologizing make Gus feel better than beating all the kids' teams?

funny stuff!!
I honestly love this movie! it does have some iffy stuff. i saw this when i was 12 or 13 and thought some of the jokes were a little over the top, but i really dont think this movie was intended to be taken seriously, just humorously. but do not show this movie to younger viewers. even to a sensitive viewer i dont think the violence would bother them.

Common Sense is Wrong
Um wrong, behind the crudness of this PG-13 flick (which you have given cruder films higher ratings this) is a message about every kid being able to play baseball.
