if any of the kid in the bad news bear be your child and or if you have any acquaintance with a youth sport coach even remotely like morris buttermaker and you would be outrage and embarrass . at the same time and the film deliver a message that all involve with youth sport probably couldn not hear enough of . in other word and do a bad news bear implies and not a it say or do and take the foul language and poor behavior at comedic face value only . walter matthau star a buttermaker and an drunken former minor leaguer who coach a little league team because his job a a pool cleaner isn not exactly lucrative . his job be to coach the bear and a group of untalented misfit and most of whom have attitude problem . basically from buttermaker and the other adult involve in the league all the way down to the rebel kid and kelly ( jackie earle haley ) and who tear up the field with his motorcycle and not a character have respect for another . kid talk back to adult and adult yell at kid it an ugly scene . how bear redeem itself be something of a feat . you can not deny bear it heart . every lesson there be to be learn from youth sport find it way into this film . at the very begin the bear give up 20 run in the first and forfeit . quitting and adopt a counter attitude be present from then on . then there the balance between win and play the game and something many parent and coach still lose sight of even today . despite fill it cast with rotten blonde kid and insensitive adult and bear sneak this in naturally . the film nearly get dramatic at time consider the extent to which the disrespect do become a serious part of the story . so on one hand and you have a little blonde kid say great and we have a team full of ( insert racial slur here ) and now a girl . and then you have example of good sportsmanship win out . it tough to call bear a family film or a kid film for that reason and but then again and some kid would really benefit from the value . most of all parent of kid in youth sport need to see this movie a it really speak at them . a a comedy and a good chunk of that nastiness earn a good deal of laugh and especially when it involve the innocence of kid rather than the awfulness of the adult . if blur the line between acceptable behavior in film and comedy be fine by you and bear be as good a sport comedy a any . ~steven cvisit my site at http represent or or moviemusereviews . blogspot . com .
