Schneider & Spade Receive Some "Dynamite" Bench Support
by Scott Weinberg | March 11, 2005
Discuss Article
Variety brings us some colorful casting news from the upcoming Rob Schneider / David Spade comedy "Benchwarmers." Jared Hess (yes, "Napoleon Dynamite" himself) has signed on, joining a supporting cast that already includes Jon Lovitz and Craig Kilborn. The sports comedy details "three guys who try to make up for their lack of athleticism in school by forming a three-man baseball team to challenge youth teams." Dennis Dugan ("Happy Gilmore"Wink is directing from a screenplay by Allen Covert ("Eight Crazy Nights"Wink and Nick Swardson ("Malibu's Most Wanted"Wink.

I hate to say it, but this could actually be good. We'll see though. It's always hit or miss with Rob and David.

Jared Hess wrote and directed Napolean Dynamite. Jon Heder played the role of Napolean himself. So RT was a little off.
