The Bad News Bears: Review

As amusing for adults as it is for children, this charming, funny film takes a gentle poke at Little League baseball and its obsession with winning. Walter Matthau, in a comic tour de force, stars as a one-time minor leaguer who becomes the manager of the Bears, a team of multiracial Little League rejects in a Southern California. With his help this hapless, foul-mouthed bunch, led by its star female hurler (Tatum O'Neal), begins winning ball games, although the priorities of the players begin to take a disappointing turn in the process.

The Bad News Bears

A major surprise as one of 1976's top grossing films. The Bad News Bears is a movie about children that is refreshing, utterly believable, and quite cleverly funny. Walter Matthau is at his absolute best as the grumbling beer-guzzling former minor-league pitcher who gets roped into coaching a band of half-pint misfits somewhat loosely called a team. With this bunch in uniform, it's impossible to get caught up in the suburban competitive spirit that drives other adults to extremes of parental discipline. So, instead, the Bears have a good time.
