About The Bad News Bears
A
remake of the 1976 movie by the same name this is about a former minor league
baseball player who is recruited to coach an unpromising group of misfits into a
team of champions. Grizzled former professional baseball player Morris Buttermaker (Billy Bob
Thornton) is bribed by a straitlaced lawyer (Marcia Gay Harden) to coach the
Bears, a woefully inept youth baseball team. Buttermaker's got to find a way to
drive this gang of 12 misfits to a championship against their hated rivals: the
Yankees and their overbearing coach (Greg Kinnear).
