I didnt even realize Bill Romanowski (the steroid freak) was in this movie till I checked the credits on imdb.
I totally concur with the part about the mailboxes. Portraying senseless vandalism as funny is a very cheap way to get a laugh.
Portraying nerds as nerdly, on the other hand, is a very classy way to get a laugh

I laughed until it hurt when Reggie Jackson was destroying mailboxes in the movie. I had to skip back and watch that a few times.

The funniest parts had Reggie Jackson, a non-actor, playing against the actors. The rest of the movie was a diversion while I fed the baby.

i honestly didn’t think it got any worse than napoleon dynamite but this movie topped it by far. this was one of the worst movies i have ever seen. what kind of message is the movie saying when we practice our swings by hitting mailboxes? or practice our running skills by ringing doorbells and running away? am i supposed to cheer on the adults who are playing baseball against little leaguers? of course they are going to win they are adults! i love how the message of being a bully isn’t cool was totally erased because the nerds, in essence, became the bullies.

The first two deleted scenes would have added so much to this movie. It had a good premise but the story and the way it was executed was horrific. I recall laughing once but most of the movie, for me, was a joke gone too far. The gay bully, the nipple thing (the first time it was mentioned, by Jon Lovitz, I laughed – all after were just too much). I especially didn’t like – and this may either be a reflection of my age which I’m sure is above the 12-14 year old target audience and where I live – was the scene in which Reggie Jackson has them practice their swing by hitting mailboxes. It wasn’t funny and there really had to be a better way. The unfortunate thing is that this was a movie with a cast that if it had been fleshed out and a better story written, could have really made this a good movie. Totally not worth the time it took to watch.

Although a few scenes made me laugh, this movie was still quite possibly one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen.

I know this movie was retarded but some scenes made me laugh out loud.
