Product ReviewsThe Bad News Bears Triple Play (DVD, 2005, 3-Disc Set)

The Bad News Bears Triple Play, good movie

The success this underdog comedy from director Michael Ritchie almost single-handedly spawned the kids' sports film boom of the 1980s and '90s. When beer-breathed ex-minor-league ball player and professional pool cleaner Morris Buttermaker (Walter Matthau) agrees to coach a Los Angeles little league team, he soon finds he's in over his head, having inherited an assortment of pint-sized peons and talentless losers. They play well-organized teams and lose by tremendous margins, and the parents threaten to disband the Bears to save the kids (and themselves) any further embarrassment. Buttermaker refuses, though, and brings in a pair of ringers: Amanda (Tatum O'Neal), his ex-girlfriend's tomboy daughter, and Kelly (Jackie Earle Haley), a cigarette-smoking delinquent who happens to be a gifted athlete. With their help, the Bears manage to change their losing ways and qualify for the championship, where they face their arch-rivals, the Yankees.Read full review...

Great set, bit of nostalgia

I've been a "Bad News Bears" fan since I was a child. I loved the movies and the TV series that was on for a couple of years (March 1970 - July 1980). I would actually like to see a remake of the TV series or find that available on a DVD/BluRay set.Read full review...
