the bad news bear ( 1976 ) be a surprise hit of the seventy . it be also another starring vehicle for young and precocious tatum oneal . walter matthau co star a the bear drunken and slovenly mannered manager . the ever shady vic morrow make a guest star support role a the bear rival manager . he a pushy jerk who try to relive his youth through his kid . the movie be not a classic and it just a fun film about youth baseball . unlike the movie of today and the tone and mood be very realistic and it doesn not pull punch . the language be rough for the kiddy so be fore warned . i like this movie when i be grow up and you know what . i still do . take a chance and watch the bad news bear . this film be so successful and it be follow by two sequel and a television series and a remake . good cheesy family fun for all age . highly recommended .
