	Welcome to the Official Website of the Denver Bad News Bears Baseball Club
		(Parker, CO)The Bad News Bears and Vandals were almost set for their 28A Title showdown at Double Angel field last Sunday on what appeared to be perfect baseball weather.
		The Bears ended their below average season in a similar fashion as their 2006 season by losing to a team that they practically dominated throughout the regular season, and on the same field.
		Bears, try to be there an hour before game time to warm up.

	The Bad News Bears - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film was followed by two sequels, The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training in 1977 and The Bad News Bears Go to Japan in 1978, and a short-lived television series, none of which were able to duplicate the success of the original.
		The Bad News Bears was filmed in and around Los Angeles, primarily in the San Fernando Valley.
		In the film, the Bears were sponsored by the fictional company Chico's Bail Bonds, a touch that fit in nicely with the idea that the Bears were a ragtag group of misfit kids who could not find a more respectable sponsor.

		And the new material presented seems to go against the team spirit theme behind the film’s premise; the screenplay takes great time fleshing out the adults of the picture, often at the expense of screen time for the kids.
		The new “Bears” gives Buttermaker a relationship with a team mother (Marcia Gay Harden), and really opens up the role of opposing coach Bullock, who, handed to Greg Kinnear, holds none of the reluctant threat Vic Morrow was able to create in the role back in 1976.
		The new “Bears” attempts to one-up its eye-raising 1976 counterpart by increasing the shock value of the Bears’ behavior.

	Bad News Bears - ComingSoon.net Movie Reviews
		Bad News Bears is Richard Linklater's (Before Sunset, Waking Life) remake of the 70s sports 'classic' with Thornton stepping into the Walter Matthau roll.
		Thirty years later, it's not quite as shockingly funny as it was at the time, and Bad News Bears wisely seeks other areas of humor besides that.
		Bad News Bears, like the original, tries to be an anti-sports movie, and the idea works more often than it doesn't, though there of been enough films of the same type made since the original, so that it still often falls into cliché.

		His team, the Bears, exists only because of a lawsuit filed by attorney Liz Whitewood (Marcia Gay Harden), who believes the Little League discriminates; she files a class action suit demanding that the league accept all players.
		In the case of the Bad News Bears, this process is aided when Buttermaker recruits his daughter Amanda (Sammi Kane Kraft) from a failed marriage.
		That the movie lacks the evil genius of "Bad Santa" is perhaps inevitable; you couldn't put a character as misogynistic and vulgar as Billy Bob's Santa in a movie where he's surrounded by kids.

		Even though this Bad News Bears redo is almost exactly like the 1976 original, watching Billy Bob Thornton play another grizzled drunkard, who teaches a bunch of smart-alecky kids his own particularly twisted game of baseball, is amusing enough.
		Since Bad Santa, the actor--with his devilish goatee, unkempt hair and rumpled clothes--has become the new W.C. Fields, albeit an edgier one, capitalizing on the I'll-deal-with-kids-but-I-really-don't-like-them persona.
		The 1976 Bad News Bears was ahead of its time.

	CNS Movie Review: Bad News Bears
		NEW YORK (CNS) -- In a summer that has already recycled one 1970s sports comedy ("The Longest Yard") comes a remake of the bawdy youth baseball laugher "Bad News Bears" (Paramount).
		Billy Bob Thornton (still in "Bad Santa" mode) stars as Morris Buttermaker -- played by Walter Matthau in the original 1976 movie -- a boozing former big leaguer who briefly pitched in the majors (two-thirds of an inning) and now works as an exterminator.
		As before, Buttermaker is hired to coach a team of hopelessly inept Little Leaguers whose sewer-mouthed lexicon gives new meaning to the term "foul ball." The runts are reasonable facsimiles of the '76 lineup, including Timmy Deters as the pugnacious Tanner Boyle and Brandon Craggs as pudgy catcher Mike Engelberg.

	Review: Bad News Bears (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Bad News Bears may be the most entertaining remake of the year (thus far), but that's less a statement of praise than it is a condemnation of this class of movies.
		After three consecutive losses and one tie, the Bears turn their season around and end up in the championship game battling the unbeatable Yankees, who are coached by the smug Roy Bullock (Greg Kinnear), the poster child for parents who overvalue winning.
		Bad News Bears won't make fans forget the original, but it's not so feeble that it disappears into the earlier movie's shadow.

	Reviews: Bad News Bears - Christianity Today Movies
		In one scene of 1976's The Bad News Bears, two members of the hated Yankees pick on a nerdy Bears player by filling his hat with ketchup.
		The players aren't ever disciplined for bad behavior; most adults are shown to be morons, and the movie actually ends with the charming theme that it's best to lie to your parents.
		Bad News Bears is rated PG-13 for rude behavior, language throughout, some sexuality and thematic elements, but should be approached as if it were rated R. There's every kind of bad news in the film.

		The Bears are sponsored by Bo Peepâs Gentlemenâs Club, advertised with a female silhouette on the back of their uniforms throughout the film.
		The original Bad News Bears was controversial for its use of swearing by and at children.
		Itâs too bad in a way, because the message at the end of the film is one kids and parents need to hear: Winning is less important than trying.

		He was simply too close to the bears for too long a period of time.
		One of the rules says you have to keep a distance of one hundred yards from the bear and one hundred fifty yards minimum from a female bear with cubs.
		The polar bear, of course, is dangerous, because he's out for mammals of human size, and he eats walrus or whatever.

	Metromix. Movie review: 'Bad News Bears'
		"Bad News Bears," with Billy Bob Thornton as the booze-guzzling coach whose youth baseball team goes from ragtag to riches, is one movie remake that doesn't need a defense attorney.
		I wouldn't say that the new "Bears" is better than the old one, nor even that I'm completely sure "Bears" needed remaking.
		The first "Bad News Bears" hailed from an era when big studio releases were more human and adventurous and less hog-tied by technology and marketing than now—and this movie tries to relive the '70s (even if it does include some shameless product placement for Hooters).

	Bad News Bears Triple Play (3-Pack) (Widescreen) - Wal-Mart
		Collection includes "The Bad News Bears," "The Bad News Bears In Breaking Training" and "The Bad News Bears Go To Japan." "The Bad News Bears" - A major surprise as one of 1976's top-grossing films, "The Bad News Bears" is a movie about children that is refreshing, utterly believable, and quite cleverly funny.
		On their pilgrimage to Houston, the Bears gain a new coach; dump that fastball over the plate; find another coach who shows him how it's done, and go on to a come-back victory with all eyes on Japan.
		The strikeout-prone Bears are pitted against a murderously skillful Japanese junior baseball team, and the resulting comic chaos is hilarious.

	Bad News Bears - Rotten Tomatoes
		Faithful to the point of irrelevancy, Richard Linklater's remake of "Bad News Bears" is an OK enough time passer, but given the talent involved, it should have been much, much better.
		Bears is like a pitcher who is nibbling at the strike zone.
		Bad News Bears is a monster all right, one that strikes fear in the hearts of moviegoers who prize taste and novelty.

		First, the good news: With Billy Bob Thornton and his "Bad Santa" writers on board and on-a-roll Richard Linklater (the critically acclaimed "Before Sunset" and the audience-acclaimed "School of Rock") calling the shots, there was sufficient cause for hope that the picture would emerge as something else than yet another pointless remake.
		For those with a scorecard, the first "Bad News Bears" inspired a pair of inferior follow-ups -- 1977's "The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training" and 1978's "The Bad News Bears Go to Japan" -- neither of which featured Matthau or were directed by Ritchie.
		The new version is definitely better than the two sequels, with Thornton bringing his own curmudgeonly irreverent spin to the role of Coach Buttermaker, here a former pro baseball player-turned-exterminator who spent all of a couple of innings in a big league game.

		Charmless, witless, and utterly pointless, Richard Linklater's insultingly bad remake of Bad News Bears marks the absolute nadir of the maverick director's career.
		But after the Bears suffer a humiliating defeat to their arch-rivals, the Yankees, Buttermaker rouses himself from his drunken, bitter stupor to turn these misfits into contenders.
		After numerous dull montages set to Bizet's Carmen (as in the original film), the Bears play the Yankees, a team coached by smarmy Roy Bullock (Greg Kinnear), for the little league championship.

		The Bears went on to sully their legacy with two less than stellar sequels and a short lived TV series but this original film is worth holding onto.
		So on the one hand "Bad News Bears" has little kids cursing, which is a bad thing, but it also exposes the fact that caring too much about winning when you are not even a teenager is a bad thing as well.
		Arguing about which of those two bad things is worse than the other would be interesting, but probably futile (I think it would be one of those red state/blue state issues, where conservatives are upset about the cursing and liberals).

		Plenty of other potentially imitative behavior is present, while the main character is an alcoholic who drinks in front of the kids during practice and elsewhere (and he gives the kids beer, although it's non-alcoholic), while others also drink and a song has lyrics about cocaine use.
		Bullock's wife is upset with him over how he's treating their son during a game, and the son spites his dad by purposefully letting the Bears succeed.
		About their bad play, Hooper (who's in a wheelchair) sarcastically says he really needed another reason for people to laugh at him.

		As all of this suggests, even as a remake, Bad News Bears is surprisingly unimaginative, given director Richard Linklater's previous ingenuity, in films like School of Rock, Waking Life, and of course, Slacker.

		In a year of sequels and remakes, Bad News Bears is a tolerable shrug-off from talents with track records, starting with Billy Bob Thornton, back toting a flask.
		An ode to bad sportsmanship, the original Bears was the first movie to admit that organized youth baseball can sometimes engender rampant jerk-dom from the parent coaches living their lives through their progeny.
		Thornton aside, the new Bears stumbles with its casting.

	Premiere Magazine: Bad News Bears
		If my calculations are correct, the new Bad News Bears remake gets away with 52 separate variations on those two expletives alone, with such colorful alternates as "pecker," "fag," "son of a bitch," "dickweed" and "bastard" thrown in for good measure.
		In both films, a hopeless drunk agrees to coach a team of little-league rejects, serving as the worst possible example to his impressionable young charges while unexpectedly transforming the band of runts into the league's second-place team.
		Here's my theory: The Bad News Bears is the one kids’ movie everyone in Hollywood looks to as the kind of project no one could get away with making today, and that's the reason Linklater went ahead and made it.

		Probably there are a dozen good reasons why the new remake of "The Bad News Bears" is as potty-mouthed as any PG-13-rated movie to date.
		The film's abundantly offensive dialogue is so inappropriate that "Bad News Bears" could have used a month in post-production getting its mouth washed out with soap.
		Also credited for the remake's writing are Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, whose recent "Bad Santa" sold a lot of tickets on the strength of its outrageous depiction of a vulgar store Santa played by Billy Bob Thornton.
