Bad News Bears (2005)
Tagline: Baseball has rules. Meet the exceptions. Plot Outline: Morris Buttermaker (Thornton), an alcoholic pest removal worker and former professional baseball player (for a very short time), is recruited to coach and train a failing baseball team of 12 year olds which is about to be thrown out of the league. Although the team does not win the first place in the next championship, it does achieve a great comeback. User Comments: Funny, but for Older Children/Young Adults User Rating: 5.9/10 (1,988 votes)
MPAA: Rated PG-13 for rude behavior, language throughout, some sexuality and thematic elements. Runtime: 113 min Country: USA Language: English / Spanish Color: Color Sound Mix: DTS / Dolby Digital Certification: Sweden:Btl / Netherlands:MG6 / Argentina:13 / USA:PG-13 / Canada:14A (British Columbia) / Canada:PG (Ontario) / Canada:G (Quebec) / UK:12A / Ireland:12A Trivia: Despite the remake having a higher MPAA rating than the original (PG-13 verses PG), the ratings board would not allow the remake to feature Coach Morris Buttermaker drinking alcoholic beer in the dugout as he had in the original. Strangely enough the board was fine with him spiking his non-alcoholic beer with hard liquor. Goofs: Continuity: Garo bats in front of Kelly twice, getting hit by the pitch once, and making out once. Then in the final inning, he hits after Kelly, an unacceptable change in the batting order. There is a way this could have happened under Little League rules, but it would have required Garo to be removed from the game for a substitute and to then return to the game and replace someone else. That didn't happen. Quotes: Morris Buttermaker: [as he's yelling at the ump] What are you on? 'Cause I want some! Awards: 1 nomination |
