Default Benchwarmers

So my girl and I went to see "Benchwarmers" yesterday, and I must say...It's a must see movie. It's clean humor for the younger people to watch, but it's still got the slapstick comedy adults can laugh at. I haven't laughed this hard at a movie since "Anchorman"...eventhough those are a little different in comedy styles.

I give it a 8.5/10 and a recommendation...anybody else seen it yet?

It has that moron from Napolean Dynamite in it....I will pass on this one and I feel I will miss nothing in doing so.

It only got 13% positive reviews on rottentomatoes.com. That said, movie critics are generally least reliable when it comes to screwball comedies and (rate stuff too low) and supposedly artistic but really just mainstream flicks (rate stuff too high).

Meh...they also rated Napolean Dynamite as a great movie and I was far fro impressed...in fact I felt ripped off for renting it.

Anchorman left me feeling the same way once it was over with.
