the bad news bear be one of the big don not judge a book by it cover movie you will ever see and yeah it one of those team of missfits come together kind of movie that you see all the time and but this one be different and it the original and no predictable victory or disney clichés . the movie be about an alcoholic low key unfriendly pool cleaner name morris buttermaker who be pay to coach a team of little leaguers after one of the kid dad sue the league for the right to play and the team be of course a team of underdog and the kind of kid who you wouldn not want play on your team in gym class while with toby represent the nice guy who gon na finish last lupous and the shy one tanner and the short tempered and overbearing and runt ahmad and the token black kid engleberg and the fat kid rudi stein and the uncoordinated awkward guy ogilvy and the smart one jimmy and the curly top jose and miguel and the foreigner and regi and the redhead with an overbear sport dad one thing i like the best be that they give each kid a reasonable amount of screen time and some ( amanda and kelly and tan and ) more than others and but each a good amount and so you can know each member all pretty well and unlike most sport movie and where you only get to know a couple player and while the rest be pretty much extra . together and they do not make a good team and but after buttermaker ex girlfriend daughter and amanda join the team to prove to buttermaker she can still pitch and the local bully lone shark ( a ahmad say ) and kelly leak join the team to tick off the a $ $ hat yankee coach and roy turner and the bear eventually get their act together and become a great team and go to the championship ( and lose ) and still think it sound boring . trust me and it not and it have just the right amount of physical and subtle humor with the right add drama and be somewhat realisticto make a classic movie and heck and i have to almost literally drag my mom to see this movie and and she like it and so once again and just cause it one of those movie that have the most reused plot ever and doesn not mean it will suck .
