The Bad News Bears

CriticsCritics: 91
AudienceAudience: 7.4

A struggling former minor-league player takes charge of a misfit little-league team in a fiercely competitive California league. As the players face pressure from opponents, parents, and their own coach, they begin finding confidence and purpose both on and off the field.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy gritty underdog sports comedies with unruly young characters, especially The Sandlot; Not for you if you want wholesome family entertainment or polished, predictable inspiration.
