by | January 3, 2006 | Comments

Rob Schneider, David Spade, and Jon Heder will soon be teaming up for a sports comedy called "The Benchwarmers," as directed by the alarmingly consistent Dennis Dugan, and you can check out the all-new trailer for the farce right here.

"Gus and his nerdy buddies, Richie and Clark, are scouted by a miilionaire nerd, Mel, who wants to form a baseball team and compete with the meanest Little League teams in the state. A stellar ballplayer, Gus becomes a role model for nerds and outcasts everywhere. But when his fans learn that Gus, himself, was once a school bully, they feel outraged and betrayed, until Gus takes extraordinary steps to win back their admiration and trust."

Sony will release the flick on April 7th.

Dennis Dugan, for what it’s worth, is the director of "Saving Silverman," "National Security," "Big Daddy," "Happy Gilmore," and "Beverly Hills Ninja."
