To scrape up some extra cash, the semi-inebriated, cigar-smoking, former minor-league pitcher and now professional exterminator, Morris Buttermaker, agrees to coach the inept little-league baseball team of young misfits, the Bears. Against the backdrop of a tough championship and an intense rivalry with the impeccable Yankees, Coach Buttermaker goes as far as to recruit Amanda Whurlitzer, the twelve-year-old daughter of one of his ex-girlfriends and star pitcher, and the troubled bike-riding baseball hitter, Kelly Leak. Under those circumstances, do Morris' uncoordinated boys have what it takes to start winning? Did the maladroit Bears bite off more than they could chew?
Leave your thoughts about Bad News Bears.
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereThornton seldom evokes the deep reserves of benevolence bubbling just beneath Matthau's comical, curmudgeon surface, and he has not nearly perfected the signature Matthau slow-burn. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsButtermaker is ornery but strangely resigned, smart enough to know he's settled for a crap life, but too exhausted to do much about it. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealCertain things in this world are automatically funny, and a booze-swilling Billy Bob Thornton cussing out kids is one of them. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordBad News Bears is a shallow imitation that, though the highest form of flattery, does not mean it should have been remade. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordButtermaker's changes of heart seem to come out of thin air, visual jokes are underplayed and scene changes often feel random |
| About.comFred TopelNobody learns about teamwork, or that winning isn't everything, or even that it is. They just misbehave and there is a great joy to a such an antisocial movie. |
| L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasThere may be no other actor (Thornton)working today (or as frequently) who is this good each and every time out. |
| Reel Times: Reflections on CinemaMark PfeifferAlthough Bad News Bears is not a shot-for-shot remake of the original, it is strikingly similar to the point where its existence is hard to defend. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperThe good news is this "bad news" movie is hilarious. |
| Worcester Telegram & GazetteDaniel M. Kimmel...this is completely true to the spirit of the original. |
