Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Woodyanders Amiable cop Eddie Burke (a decent and engaging performance by Richard Lincoln) and his bumbling partner Burt Honneger (James Zvanut, who mugs way too much for comfort) get the impossible job of coaching a little league baseball team called the Tigers that's made up of assorted losers and misfits. Can Eddie and Burt whip the Tigers into shape so they can start winning games and have a real shot at the local championship? Arch McCoy's shamelessly derivative script copies "The Bad News Bears" without capturing any of the charm, wit, or verve which made that particular picture such a caustic treat. Instead McCoy offers dire attempts at crude humor which include stale jokes on such desperate topics as flatulence, nose-picking, and kids swearing (natch). Worse yet, there's even a painfully sincere and hackneyed "you just gotta believe in yourself" central message and occasional ham-fisted attempts at gooey sentiment. The mostly bland acting from a lame no-name cast, Sean S. Cunningham's flat (non)direction, a grindingly predictable narrative that delivers zero surprises (guess who wins the big climactic game), the plodding pace, Harry Manfredini's irritatingly bouncy cutesy-poo score, and a dreadful artificially sped up slapstick chase set piece don't help matters any. 70's porn mainstay Fred Lincoln is wasted in a nothing minor role as incredibly annoying seedy stoner drunk Aesop. Only Barry Abrams' polished cinematography manages to rise above the general mediocrity. A real dud.

BIOSphereopts I just watched this horrid thing on TV. Needless to say it is one of those movies that you watch just to see how much worse it can get. Frankly, I don't know how much lower the bar can go. The characters are composed of one lame stereo-type after another, and the obvious attempt at creating another "Bad News Bears" is embarrassing to say the VERY least.I have seen some prized turkeys in my time, but there is no reason to list any of them since this is "Numero Uno".Let me put it to you this way, I watched the Vanilla Ice movie, because it was so bad it was funny. This...this...is NOT even that good.

ljsoccer The saddest part of this is the fact that these are 87 minutes I'll never get back. I knew this was terrible from the get-go, with the guy dressed as a lunatic Indian chief on top of the roof. (See if they could get away with that in 2008). My 10-year-old boy is really into baseball right now, so we decided to rent it on a rainy day. Even though he seemed to enjoy parts of it, I had to cringe when I heard all the needless foul language. Bad, bad movie. This was an awful ripoff of Bad News Bears. Completely shameless and completely predictable. I don't mind a predictable movie if it's done well, but this one absolutely was not.

fowlerjones I remember seeing the trailer for this film on television. It seems like they ran it alot around release time (usually during re-runs of Gomer Pyle). The producers hired baseball announcer Mel Allen to voice it. After seeing the film years later (also on TV), I can't help but think the money they paid Mel for his voice work probably constituted one of the largest production expenditures.This movie never fooled anybody. It was conceived and produced to cash in on the wild success of "The Bad News Bears". It flopped and was nearly forgotten (except for this imdb entry).I don't think you'll see this film on a future AFI treasure list anytime soon.
