Benchwarmers 2: Breaking Balls (2019) User Reviews

It is alright

[crystalkotrba · 4/10 · 19 January 2020]

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

The nobility of futility.

[nogodnomasters · 4/10 · 4 April 2019]

Jon Lovitz revives his character Mel for Benchwarmers 2. Ben (Chris Klein) a promising ballplayer gets hit in the cup which ends his career and begins the juvenile humor and subtitle. Getting a law degree, he ends up playing for Lovitz's team with a colorful cast of badly scripted characters. The film had potential and some a couple of good one-liners, but no great running jokes.

Guide: No f-words. Implied sex. No nudity. The nobility of futility.

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

[jakerchief · 5/10 · 8 April 2021]

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.

The worst movie I've ever seen

[fpsamples · 1 January 2020]

No one, I mean on ones career could be helped by this movie. I'm ashamed I even watched it

Why make a sequel?

[senordonuts · 1/10 · 2 January 2020]

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

[goxgetxit · 1/10 · 13 February 2019]

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

Unwatchable

[RobTheWatcher · 3/10 · 28 November 2021]

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.

The original was way better

[merrielp · 1/10 · 6 January 2020]

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

The First One Was Bad Enough

[ThatGuyFromNZ · 3/10 · 15 January 2020]

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.

Not like the original but oddly entertaining.

[drewschroeder-76130 · 7/10 · 17 January 2020]

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.

Sad

[merrcury · 1/10 · 14 January 2020]

Straight from filming to over seas release onVHS TO bargain bin at now defunct VHS shop in 3rd world country

Annie

[mtaz357 · 10/10 · 11 January 2020]

The girl that plays annie is smoking hot. And I think shes hot that's y I gave it 10

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

[Kamurai25 · 6/10 · 1 May 2020]

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.

Doesn't match up to the original.

[rdamian1963 · 4/10 · 12 January 2020]

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.

Really might be the worst movie I've seen

[Mattydiesel15 · 1/10 · 20 May 2020]

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.

[curtfletchercomedy · 22 May 2020]

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

OMG...it's so bad.

[beammeup-29554 · 1/10 · 26 November 2020]

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.

The f*%#?

[Cracracracroft · 2/10 · 26 August 2022]

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.

Would not recommend

[deanna-spanna · 2/10 · 13 April 2020]

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

Terrible

[kjbunkowske · 1/10 · 15 March 2020]

Easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Tried way too hard to create humor, none of the same major cast members from the first movie, horrible acting.

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

[GavWaskett · 2/10 · 13 September 2020]

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.

Expected a "goofy" comedy and it delivered!

[chrisw578 · 9/10 · 16 September 2021]

Seems a lot of the people leaving bad reviews either hadn't watched a trailer prior or expected an Academy Award winning movie. Is it terrible? No, not at all. It's a decent "goofy" movie with some good laughs. And maybe a nice message behind it.

If you know Jon Lovitz then you likely know what I mean when I say "goofy" type movies. He's here doing what he does best. He always brings the laughs! Chris klein plays his roles perfectly of course. This is no exception. Seems this guy doesn't age either!!

If you like the "silly" or "goofy" type movies, this might be a good one for you. At least give it a shot, but do keep your expectations realistic and you may really enjoy!

Don't bother

[pmtelefon · 3/10 · 1 June 2022]

I don't want to be mean but there is very little in "Benchwarmers 2: Breaking Balls" that makes it worth watching. The cast is game but the material is very weak. It also has the feeling that we've seen all of this before. I never saw the original "Benchwarmers". After watching this sequel, I don't think I ever will.

A hit to the nuts

[cjhjonas · 2/10 · 29 March 2020]

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

Bad film

[lawrdeb · 2/10 · 15 May 2021]

Not as good as the original but it is a little bit boring.
