The Bad News Bears
“The coach is waiting for his next beer. The pitcher is waiting for her first bra. The team is waiting for a miracle. Consider the possibilities.”
FamilyComedyDrama
An aging, down-on-his-luck ex-minor leaguer coaches a team of misfits in an ultra-competitive California little league.
VIBE
A boozy, foul-mouthed coach wrangles a team of Little League losers. It’s a surprisingly heartfelt, if unvarnished, look at flawed adults and resilient kids finding common ground on the diamond.
