Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
Walter Matthau (Charade, The Couch Trip) plays aging alcoholic Morris Buttermaker, a one time minor league prospect turned pool cleaner, with not much to show for his life except some empty beer cans.

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Michael Ritchie's "The Bad News Bears" is intended as a comedy, and there are, to be sure, a lot of laughs in it. But it's something more, something deeper, than what it first appears to be. ...read the complete Bad News Bears movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The question on the minds of many critics reviewing the remake of The Bad News Bears (the latest one drops the "The" in the title) is, "Why did they bother?" Most suggest that the film is entertaining enough, but Glenn Whipp in the Los Angeles Daily ...read the complete Bad News Bears movie review at ShowBIZ Data

Time Out (--)
Amiably engrossing satire on the 'win ethic' that offers a take-it-or-leave-it approach to its serious points about enforcing precociousness on kids, but consistently delights with its panoramic comic invention. Drunken slob Matthau (perfect) coaches an ...read the complete Bad News Bears movie review at Time Out (--)
