Review of Bad News Bears (2005) by Desiree R — 04 Aug 2007
On the surface, there's nothing particularly offensive about this update of the semi-classic 1976 misfit sports comedy of the same name and Billy Bob Thorton was certainly an astute choice to replace Walter Matthau as curmudgeonly Little League coach Morris Buttermaker.
But it's all so utterly pointless - a virtual scene-by-scene replica of the original - you have to wonder why a respected auteur like Richard Linklater would even bother.
