Bad News Bears - DVD   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #103 of 124 |
The Bad News Bears is being released on DVD in the USA on 13th
December 2005.

The DVD is available in three versions:
1. The Special edition.
2. Widescreen edition.
3. Full Screen edition.

You can pre-order the DVD at:
http://www.amazon.com

In a fitting follow-up to Bad Santa and Friday Night Lights, Billy
Bob Thornton makes the most of the remake trend in Bad News Bears.
He's just the right guy to inherit Walter Matthau's role from the
original 1976 version about a lousy Little League team baseball team
coached by a curmudgeonly drunk, and the original team of misfits
has been updated (but not upgraded) to an ethnic mix that includes
an Indian math whiz, a pair of Latino twins, and a paraplegic kid
who doesn't play until the final championship game. It's a little
sad to see a talented director like Richard Linklater doing an
unnecessary remake, but his experience on School of Rock made him
the obvious choice to mine comedy gold from the collision of
Thornton and a batch of unruly, prepubescent kids (including Sammi
Kraft, an all-star Little Leaguer in the role originated by Tatum
O'Neal). With Marcia Gay Harden and Greg Kinnear in supporting
roles, this isn't family fare (the potty-mouthed kids deservedly
earned a PG-13 rating), but Thornton's easygoing presence makes it
worthwhile for anyone who's not too attached to the original version.
