Watch: Bad News Bears 2005 123movies, Full Movie Online – To scrape up some extra cash, the semi-inebriated, cigar-smoking, former minor-league pitcher and now professional exterminator, Morris Buttermaker, agrees to coach the inept little-league baseball team of young misfits, the Bears. Against the backdrop of a tough championship and an intense rivalry with the impeccable Yankees, Coach Buttermaker goes as far as to recruit Amanda Whurlitzer, the twelve-year-old daughter of one of his ex-girlfriends and star pitcher, and the troubled bike-riding baseball hitter, Kelly Leak. Under those circumstances, do Morris’ uncoordinated boys have what it takes to start winning? Did the maladroit Bears bite off more than they could chew?.
Plot: Morris Buttermaker is a burned-out minor league baseball player who loves to drink and can’t keep his hands to himself. His long-suffering lawyer arranges for him to manage a local Little League team, and Buttermaker soon finds himself the head of a rag-tag group of misfit players. Through unconventional team-building exercises and his offbeat coaching style, Buttermaker helps his hapless Bears prepare to meet their rivals, the Yankees.

Funny, but for Older Children/Young Adults
First, let me say that it’s been years since I saw the original and not being a baseball/softball player myself, I couldn’t remember a thing about it. I thought this movie was funny and had some good messages promoting “team concepts”, even though it was hidden sometimes under crude language, sexual innuendo and other subjects not appropriate for very young children. I am a Billy Bob Thorton fan and I thought he played the part well and was exactly the guy for the role. You generally wouldn’t expect to see him in a PG-rated movie anyway. I just want families with young children to keep this in mind when choosing a film for all to see. A few families walked out after the first few minutes that contained some language not appropriate for their young children. The child actors in the movie are great and make the picture enjoyable to watch. The other benefit to this film, again for the appropriate aged audience is that it is about two hours long so you feel like you get your money’s worth!

Why, praytell, is this being marketed as a kid’s movie?
I think I’m going to go shopping for a file cabinet this weekend. I’ve been meaning to get my life more organized, and I figured it’d be a good idea to start filing things. I’ll pick up several folders as well, and I’ll be sure to label one “Unnecessary Wastes of my Time.” Under “U” of course. And while I’m at it, I think I’ll go ahead and make “Remake of The Bad News Bears” the first entry I file.

I actually expected to be fairly entertained by this movie, so I was quite shocked by how pedestrian it is. Billy Bob Thornton as an alcoholic Little League baseball coach? Come on, that’s gotta be pretty funny, right? Well, you’d think. But strangely enough, Thornton is quite subdued, and apparently the writers thought it’d be absolutely hilarious if they made the kids raunchier than Thornton. Perhaps the writers could use a course on how to more effectively think things through.

I never dismiss a movie immediately just because it’s a remake. I always give it a chance to stand on its own merits. Unfortunately, this is a remake that seems content with touching all the main plot points from the original, and then just making the kids cuss more. Sorry, but I fail to see the humor in 11 year olds running around saying God-d**n and the like. Har har har, yeah, there’s some crisp screen writing there. If I see an 11 or 12 year old using that kind of language in real life I can’t help but think it’s a punk who hasn’t been taken to the woodshed enough. I certainly don’t cheer them on. Same thing with the kids in this movie.

I’m all for a good underdog story, but this is one of the least inspiring underdog movies I’ve ever seen. I was actually rooting against the Bears. Talk about the biggest collection of annoying kid actors I’ve seen in a long time, especially Tanner (Timmy Deters). It’s bad enough that his stupid girly hair makes him look like a young Natalie Maines, but his taste for the profane and penchant for getting into fights indicate to me that he’s just going to be another drain on taxpayer money when he’s sitting in a jail cell in a few years. He’s a prime example of why you shouldn’t spare the rod.

The movie also tries way too hard to attempt to be controversial without being all that offensive. For example, the uniforms are sponsored by Bo Beeps strip club. This doesn’t offend me so much as it insults my intellect due to the fact that it’s just not very funny. “Haha, look at how irreverent we are! This is edgy stuff! We have now thusly taken the kids to dine at Hooters! Bow at our over-the-top vulgarity!” Um, I’m not too impressed. “Well you should be! Fine, we will henceforth throw in another instance of a child using a curse word! That shall surely induce fits of laughter!” Not really.

“Oh, well, then we shall have Billy Bob say such taboo things as, ‘This is not a democracy! It’s a dictatorship, and I’m Hitler!” Woo, yeah, that’s really crossing the line there. Nice try. Maybe if you have a sequel you can replace “Hitler” with “Stalin” or “Hussein” and REALLY cross the line. Good job, guys, you’ve got some ready-made quotes just sitting in the queue.

Give me a break. Billy Bob does have his moments, and he’s obviously the funniest thing the movie has going for it, but at times the movie seems like an awkward attempt at letting him just monologue in an effort to come up with a memorable one-liner. After each failed attempt he’s allowed to keep going, as if we’re being treated to a deleted rehearsal scene or something. “The audience didn’t laugh? OK, let’s try another…”

Oh, and let me get back to the kids for a second – for the most part they’re all really bad actors. Especially Sammi Kraft and Jeff Davies. I know they didn’t have previous acting experience, but sheesh, it sticks out like Paris Hilton at a virgin convention. I started to feel embarrassed watching Ms. Kraft trying to spit out a simple line like, “You. are. a. lazy. drunk.” My sister thought she recognized the girl and asked me, “Where else have I seen her?” I responded with, “Not acting school.”

And poor Jeff Davies – sure, he can hit a baseball, but he looks like Corey Feldman going through an awkward stage of puberty, and his line delivery is just as unemotional as Ms. Kraft’s. I just didn’t buy him as the bad boy that Jackie Earle Haley portrayed so well in the original. It’s not often that I’m actually shocked by truly bad acting in a big screen release, so congrats, Bad News Bears! You’ve got that going for you! After about 35 minutes, when I realized this just wasn’t going to be a very funny movie, I decided to start counting how many times we were expected to laugh at dropped fly balls, booted grounders, turd jokes, and the kids insulting each other and getting into fights. After I had exhausted all 10 fingers within the course of about 5 minutes I decided to just give up, lean back in my seat, and ride it out. T’wasn’t easy, especially since this inexplicably lasts almost two hours, but I survived.

Whenever Billy Bob announces who the Bears will be playing next he asks them what that means for the opposing team. The players yell out, “Bad news!” How ironic that the same mantra can be applied to what you can expect if you fork out your hard-earned dough to see this on the big screen.
