The Bad News Bears (2005)

If you didn’t care for the 2005 remake of The Bad News Bears, it was probably because you deemed it inferior to the original. But what if you didn’t see the original? My rating may change once I finally see the 1976 sports comedy but until then, I say this one has a lot of laughs, a perfectly cast Billy Bob Thornton and a pitch-perfect ending.

Liz Whitewood (Marcia Gay Harden) hires washed-up alcoholic former baseball player Morris Buttermaker (Thornton) to coach the Bears, a children’s team whose players show little promise. Whether they’re constantly fighting each other, displaying no sports skills, making you question if there might be something wrong with in their heads, or wheelchair-bound, they stand no chance of winning anything. Even less with the dispassionate Buttermaker leading them.

Made two years after Bad Santa, this is basically that film but with less of a foul mouth, and for kids… kinda? There’s certainly no shortage of cursing, name-calling and terms that will make anyone who cares about political correctness woozy. No nudity though, and the sex jokes are likely to go over the kid’s heads - I mean that’s what happens to his young baseball players, so probably. If you show this to the young ones you may have some awkward questions to answer about strip clubs… but it’s not R-Rated, so aim for teens and up? The point is this material was made for Thornton (it may have literally been, come to think of it). Even once you’ve figured out the movie’s central gag, it remains funny thanks to the many ways director Richard Linklater shows us just how trashy Buttermaker is. One of my favorite jokes comes right at the beginning and it tells you everything you need to know about him but I was still surprised by what came later.

Along with the coach, we get enough of several players (played by Ridge Canipe, Tyler Patrick Jones, Aman Johal and others) to be both amused and somewhat frustrated (in a good way) by Buttermaker’s disregard for the team. You like seeing him not care but you'd like the rascalls to learn something, maybe even win some games. With some star players brought in (played by Sammi Kane Kraft and Jeffrey Davies), it's certainly possible. This keeps you invested in the story. That gag about not caring can only go so far, after all. The introduction of a villain - a coach who cares too much about winning, played by Greg Kinnear - helps. If he gets taught a lesson, it’ll feel like a win.

Though I enjoyed the film and laughed consistently, I can also kind of see where it might be a disappointment. You can picture the way The Bad News Bears could do more, push things further and be even more outrageous than it is. It’s another reason why I’m curious to see the original but for now, I’ll endorse this film. Mostly for Thornton’s dry, acidic humour rather than the sports story itself but that’s more than enough. (On DVD, September 27, 2021)

Focus [trailer]

In the midst of veteran con man Nicky's latest scheme, a woman from his past - now an accomplished femme fatale - shows up and throws his plans for a loop.

My judgement might possibly be clouded by the sight of Maggie Robbie, but that was more entertaining than I remembered.

Smith and Robbie are just a pleasure to watch, and the banter between Jess and Farhad is hilarious. And the story itself is not that bad either.
