This likable 1976 comedy gently skewers the whole post- Rocky mania for movies about losers who find their mettle or salvation or purpose in life in competitive sport. Walter Matthau stars as a drunk who becomes manager of a pathetic little-league baseball team. When he brings in a talented girl pitcher (Tatum O'Neal), the crew have an actual chance at winning some games and maybe a championship. But director Michael Ritchie (Downhill Racer) undercuts the romance of it all with the team's foul-mouthed tendencies and Matthau's own decadent spin on mentor-coachdom. Similarly to Ritchie's wicked comedy Smile --which lampooned the fervor surrounding beauty pageants--The Bad News Bears pokes fun at another American institution. --Tom Keogh

This is a good movie. It also is the first PG film I remember watching, and let me tell you my virgin ears of 8 years old were shocked. This movie reminds me of why I don't have the heart to put my son in neighborhood sports. The competitiveness, the vanity, the pressure it's all too much. I remember about 6 years ago hearing about a riot that broke out at a school sports game, and a poor 17 year old girl paid the price for the wrath of the spectating parents. It broke my heart what happened to her, ... Read More

"The Bad News Bears" is a heartfelt, poignant movie about how one man comes to find redemption through that most hallowed of American institutions, little league baseball. The film is anchored by Walther Matthau who is perfectly cast as Morris Buttermaker, a washed up ex-minor league pitcher frittering away what is left of his life cleaning pools in suburban southern California. He agrees to coach a little league baseball team to make a few extra bucks.
All Buttermaker wants to do is show ... Read More

Another great 70s film that was made into a poor 21st century film. This film is matter of fact without loud music and greatly exaggerated mugging passing off as acting. Yes, the characters are exaggerated for effect but not like acting is now. The story and the movie are more subtle but the story is classic cinema. A horrible, pathetic kids little league team is coached by a hopeless alcoholic. Somehow with the recruitment of a GIRL! Everyone gets their act together and plays pretty well. The ultimate ...

Im not going to tell you all about this film, or tell you who is in it, or what they did, etc. Everyone knows Walter Matthau plays an ex-ball player who drinks, smokes and swears to much thru the movie, and also that Tatum O'Neil plays his ex-girlfriend's daughter who he gets to pitch and all the other stuff, like Tanner swearing and saying the "N" word, and such. All this has been said and reviewed in earlier post. I saw this movie when it first came out in 1976. I was 9 turning 10 years old that year. I cant ... Read More
