The Bad News Bears
(1976)
Directed by Micahel
Ritchie this film stars Walter Matthau, Tatum O'Neal, Chris Barnes
and Jackie Earle Haley. An alcoholic former baseball player gets paid
to coach a team of rejects in a childrens baseball league.
This is a fairly
simple and uncomplicated film that brings a rough edge to an
otherwise mostly light hearted genre. While the film is mostly well
made and well intentioned it is a fairly easy watch that does not
really challenge the viewer and is not exactly full of comedy. The
film is largely well made but I am not sure it has enough personality
to really carry the story it is telling.
3/5
