The WORST POS movie I have EVER seen!

Hi all,

First, let me qualify my statement by saying, the ONLY reason I attended this (so call) movie was that I work as a Direct Support Professional
(working with "special needs" young adults) and this young man wanted to see this movie. Dear God, in my over 50 years of living, I have NEVER seen such a POS movie as "BENCH WARMERS".
This film with past cast members of "Saturday Night Live" has got to be the most STUPID, DUMB, CRUDE, POS ever to come out of Hollywood. My God, I just can't go on.

SixCats!

You obviously didn't delve into the subtle nuance's of the film. Exploring first, the traumatic conflict between the protagonists. Followed by the angst felt by all in the theater. finally culminating in the emergence of the dramatic lead into his proper place in todays society. On the bench with a warm bum.

I haven't seen Bench Warmers but one of the worst movies I've ever seen was Practical Magic with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock. What a waste of two hours. Keep in mind that I worship at the alter of Ms. Kidman so I really hated it even with her as the star.

Destined for the Walmart 'Dump Bin' I guess. It did look very sophmoric from the previews, in the same league as Dumb an Dumber.

Hi guys,

Thank you for your replies. Guys, I am here to tell you, films such as DUMB and DUMBER, Pee Wee's Big Top, Cabin boy, those Police Academy movies and even that new re-make of the PINK PANTHER with Steve Martin, I would consider ACADEMY AWARD material (I kid you not!) compared to this POS! If I could of left the theatre (something I've ever done) I would of left and asked for a REFUND! Duff, I haven't seen the movie you mentioned but, I bet it's a THOUSAND times better than BENCH WARMERS.
Heck, I mean NICOLE KIDMAN, come on! Henry and Sandy, lol, your comments are pretty darn funny and help ease my pain! I swear, I almost want to RECOMMEND you see this POS film if only to see just how AWFUL this film is and that I am NOT exaggerating!

Regards,
SixCats!

Oh, and one of the worst I've ever seen-

Spaced Invaders!

We saw it in the theater- the projection was off, as the charactors were all "stretched".

The boom mikes were in many, many scenes. You could see the mike moving in many of the scenes.

And one of the aliens was acting like an intergalactic Jack Nicholson, including the drawl and speech pattern. Ugh!

My girlfriend at the time bought it for me on DVD as a gag gift. We were so dissapointed when we watched it- they took the boom mikes out of the scene by re-editing!!!!!! Those were the ONLY funny parts!

Spaced Invaders-

IMDB-
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100666/

Note- both these movies, "Don't Tell Her It's Me", and "Spaced Invaders, were released in 1990.

So was "Nuns on the Run".

A truly miserable film but.....you haven't lived until you see the groaner of all time - "Valley of the Dolls." It even beats such magnum opus films as "ROBOT MONSTER" and "REEFER MADNESS" for sheer awfulness.
