REAR COVER Funny-men ROB SCHNEIDER, DAVID SPADE and JON HEDER (from NAPOLEON DYNAMITE ) star as three older guys with little sporting ability: who get a second chance to fulfil their childhood sperting dreams when they take on a squad of Littie League basebali bullies. Striking a blow for the athletically-challenged, Gus, Clark and Ritchie soon become unlikely heroes to the bullied, clumsy and awkward everywhere! From producer ADAM SANDLER and co-starring JON LOVITZ, THE BENCHWARMERS is an outrageous slapstick comedy that will bring fans of films like DODG.EBALL to their feet! DETAILED PLOT Gus Matthews (Rob Schneider), Richie Goodman (David Spade), and Clark Reedy (Jon Heder) are adult "nerds" who spent their childhoods longing to play baseball, but never got the chance. When a nerdy, unathletic boy named Nelson Carmichael (Max Pardo) and his friends are bullied and kicked off a baseball diamond by a local little league team, Gus and Clark chase the bullies away. When Gus and Clark go with Richie to the field, the bullies return and demand that they leave. Gus challenges the bullies to play them for the field. They win the game due to Gus's surprising aptitude. A man named Brad (Sean Salisbury), one of Clark and Richie's childhood bullies, challenges them to another game, but the three friends win again. After an encounter with Richie and Clark's childhood bully Jerry (Craig Kilborn), they and Gus are approached by Nelson's billionaire father Mel (Jon Lovitz) who tells the trio about his plan to hold a round-robin with all the little league teams in the state, plus their team. The winners will be given access to a new multimillion-dollar baseball park. The three name themselves the Benchwarmers and join the tournament. Mel and his robot Number 7 (Doug Jones) cover up Gus' involvement with his wife Liz (Molly Sims). Jerry and the coaches of the little league teams start meeting to think of plans to defeat the Benchwarmers. The Benchwarmers win every single game, with Clark and Richie's abilities gradually improving, Richie's brother Howie (Nick Swardson) facing his fears, and the team becomes popular among many nerds, children with poor athletic abilities, and the general public. At the semi-final game, the competing team's coach Wayne (Tim Meadows) enters a 30-year-old Dominican professional baseball player named Carlos (Amaury Nolasco) into the league claiming going with Jerry's claim that he is 12 years old. The Benchwarmers eventually defeat Carlos by getting him too drunk to pitch properly. After multiple unsuccessful attempts to derail the trio, the Benchwarmers' adversaries finally find a weakness that they can exploit. Brad find evidence that Gus was a bully himself as a child from his poker buddy Steven (Terry Crews), known for using name calling over physical force and had bullied one boy named Marcus (Joe Gnoffo) so intensely that he had to be sent to a mental institution. Seizing this opportunity, Jerry and Steve expose Gus' secret to the public, shaming Gus into resigning from the team. After a talk with Liz, Gus sincerely apologizes to Marcus just before the final game. Mel enlists Ultimate Home Remodel to build his stadium. When it came to the big game against Jerry's baseball team, Marcus forgives Gus in front of everyone at the beginning of the final game. Gus re-joins the team, announcing that Marcus is the Benchwarmers' new third-base coach. In the final game, Gus, Clark and Richie let a team consisting of Nelson and other non-athletic children play, to give them a chance to play. In the final inning, the Benchwarmers are losing, but Jerry's team sees that the Benchwarmers are having fun playing the game anyway. Seeing how heartless and uncaring Jerry is and realizing the true spirit of the game, they decide to let Nelson score a run, saying that Jerry is "the loser". The Benchwarmers storm the field, celebrating the fact that they were not shut out. The entire Benchwarmers team, along with the kids from Jerry's team, Marcus, and even Carlos and Wayne, celebrate at Pizza Hut. Richie and Clark get girlfriends, Howie informs Wayne that he's not a big fan of the Moon, and Gus announces that he is going to become a father.
