Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Dramatically speaking, the runners never advance in "Benched," an overlong, talky comedy about two Little League coaches with decidedly different philosophies. Aug 16, 2018 Full Review Raquel Stecher Quelle Movies Starts off a bit cheesy and awkward but once it picks up I found it quite engrossing. Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This was in the "family"movie section and not at all a family flick. Talking about affairs, cheating on his wife and how his best friend is banging his wife. Literally not even necessary. So disappointing viewing with my 3 kids and husband. Some language was unnecessary also. They were coaching a little league team and could of potentially been a cute, family comedy but took a turn and we had to shut it down. Understand there isn't a rating but everything about this suggests it's okay for appropriate age children and it's sadly should not be in the family category. H Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Ralph "Boom Boom" Johnson had an amazing role. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the best movie ever released into cinemas.
