The Bad News Bears (1976)
Country: US
Technical: col 103m
Director: Michael Ritchie
Cast: Walter Matthau, Tatum O'Neal
Synopsis:
A washed-up baseball player accepts a contract to coach an unlikely team of contenders for a cutthroat Californian little league.
Review:
Emblematic of American comedies of the seventies, this gross error of judgement on Matthau's part presents loud-mouthed vulgarity and antisocial behaviour instead of humour, and the spectacle of children acting with maturity and adults behaving badly passes for sentiment. The climactic game does not even make for good cinema.
