The Bad News Bears

No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Michael Ritchie
1976 / 102min / 35mm

An alcoholic former minor league ballplayer who now makes his beer money by cleaning swimming pools, Morris Buttermaker (a wonderfully dyspeptic Walter Matthau) takes a gig coaching the least talented youth baseball team in California, the Bears, to avoid a lawsuit—then juices their roster with the addition of 11-year-old female fireball pitcher Tatum O’Neal and five-tool delinquent Jackie Earle Haley. A profane, pugnacious, and perfectly hilarious shaggy-dog sports comedy.
