Bad News Bears

2005, Movie, 1h 53min

Morris Buttermaker is a burned-out minor league baseball player who loves to drink and can't keep his hands to himself. His long-suffering lawyer arranges for him to manage a local Little League team, and Buttermaker soon finds himself the head of a rag-tag group of misfit players. Through unconventional team-building exercises and his offbeat coaching style, Buttermaker helps his hapless Bears prepare to meet their rivals, the Yankees.

On a gags-to-laughs ratio, it’s certainly the comedy to beat this season, thanks mostly to Billy Bob Thornton’s twinkly, ragged Buttermaker.

...a dark but traditional PG-13 version of a kid's sports movie, with everything but the f-word in the dialogue.

Kids and profanity will always be funny together, and, like mom and apple pie and steroids, they’re as American as the World Series.

What is Bad News Bears about? Toggle content

Morris Buttermaker, a former professional baseball player turned exterminator, is hired to coach a struggling Little League team called the Bears. Despite their initial reluctance, Buttermaker convinces the team to stay together and work towards improving their skills. With the help of Amanda Wurlitzer, a skilled pitcher and the daughter of one of Buttermaker's ex-girlfriends, and Kelly Leak, a local troublemaker with a talent for hitting, the Bears start winning games. As they make their way to the championship game, tensions rise between Buttermaker and the rival Yankees' coach, Ray Bullock. In a climactic showdown, the Bears face off against the Yankees, but a controversial call at the plate leads to a narrow defeat for Buttermaker's team. Despite the loss, the Bears celebrate their improved skills and teamwork with a post-game party, marking a successful season and a newfound sense of camaraderie.
