Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì
Bad News Bears—Walter Matthau—serves a good piece of entertainment. It is difficult to say that the later 2005 remake with Billy Bob Thornton is better than this story because the two actors have such strong personalities that are so different in professionalism that each movie has its own entertainment value and can be watched in close proximity to each other and still be enjoyed. This works as a good teen/adult share.
