When he's not drunk, exterminating vermin, or trying to get in the sack, Morris Buttermaker (Thornton) is on the ball field yelling at a bunch of kids who can't play baseball worth a damn. But Buttermaker makes it his goal to find some talent in all of these losers and show Coach Bullock's (Kinnear) Yankees what "Bad News" these "Bears" can really be. This is a hysterical and quite-worthy remake! Fans of Billy Bob in his dirtball best will enjoy this one. Based upon the film written by Bill Lancaster that starred Walter Matthau in the role of Buttermaker. (Suzanne Hodges)
