I don't know how I'd managed to never see this before, 'The Bad News Bears' is a Saturday afternoon movie if ever there was one. Walter Matthau is reluctantly coaching a little league baseball team, he doesn't care until the cumulative effect of insults and sympathy for the kids motivate him to take the job seriously, and bring in Tatum O'Neal and Jackie Earl Haley as stringers. Much of the humor comes from the kids saying inappropriate things, but the film does have a real heart to it. It's a very 1970's kind of movie. ***
