    If you are into baseball and like cruel humor, this is a movie for you. I wouldn't say that it's a good movie but it has its funny moments.

    David Spade and John Heder guarantees laughs but why is Rob Schneider always portraied as a sympathetic loser who's been kicked around far...( read more) too long?

    Entertaining enough, but mostly just an excuse for grown men to make asses out of themselves.

    This was a really good film, although it featured a bit too much baseball for my liking. I know that's the main point of the film, but seeing as I'm an Australian (baseball isn't big at all in Australia), I found it hard to enjoy excessive baseball. Also, nearly all sport films are hard to keep track of, since there is action going on everywhere. It was well acted by the 3 main cast members, as well as an impressive performance from Jon Lovitz.

    This movie was garbage, and also kind of ruined Napoleon Dynamite for me. If you're older than 14 and have a sense of humor, watch something else.

    Richie: It's gonna be OK just take the Thin Mints back to the apartment.
    Howie: Fine, you can eat the Thin Mints at my funeral, Richie!

    Anyone who absolutely LOVES and ADORES this movie could easily be my friend because this is the most inspirational and hilarious movies of all time. This is one of my favorite quotes:

    Gus:Just keep your eye on the ball.
    Richie:You just think of that?Your an amazing coach
    Richie:With this vest it's hard to swing, it's tight you know
    Richie throws the ball,it hits him on the head

    Clark:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
