This movie is one of the funniest baseball movies you will ever watch! It has good music and funny jokes. Unfortunatly, while cracking jokes the people are cussing, yelling, fighting, making obscean hand gestures, having sex, and being obnoxious! So while its a good movie, its probobly the heaviest pg-13 that you have ever watched in your life. Best make sure your kids knows not to say bad stuff before watching this. Its my favorite but the truth is that its just not for most kids.

What Parents Need to Know
About Bad News Bears (2005)
Parents need to know that the movie features kids cursing, behaving badly, fighting, and drinking non-alcoholic beer. Their poor role model is their coach, who drinks (to the point of passing out), smokes, swears, hangs out at a strip club, makes racist and sexist comments (as well as ignorant wisecracks about a boy in a wheelchair and another who is overweight), and teaches one of the kids to make martinis. As the coach works as an exterminator, the movie also features visual jokes about dead rats and insects. Though the coach learns to be a more tolerant and mature adult, he remains ornery, and has one-night sex with the mother of one of his players.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the film's treatment of the kids' differences in skills, sizes, attitudes, and backgrounds. While the coach is equally abusive to all the children, the film also makes some visual jokes based in their appearances, accents, and first languages (two brothers speak only Spanish). How does Amanda deal with being the only girl in the league? How do the kids learn to work together as a team? How does the coach get over his long-held bitterness and learn to appreciate imperfection?

THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE!
I love this movie. I could watch it every day and not get tired of it. I laugh at almost everything. It is probably the best movie I have ever seen. There are a lot of bad words comming out of kids' mouths but if you are 12+ it shouldn't be a problem.

Funny, But Should Be An R
This is a pretty funny movie, despite the bad reviews. The language is really bad, almost every sentence has a swear word and the coach drinks so much that he passes out on the field. He also has sex with one of the kid's mom. This pushes the PG-13 and should be an R. If you're about 15 or 16, it's ok.

An okay comedy with a terrible rating of PG-13!
Holy! This movie is completely R rated material if this was a drama! The language is extremely strong, crude, vulgar, and explicit. 10-14 year old kids use the S word about 80 times in this movie, and the coach says the F word once, and the S wore about 60 times. There is other extremely strong language and references to sexual objects. A man is insulted for wearing tight beige jeans and is told that his private parts are showing. Underage kids drink, 10-14 year old, and go to a strip-joint, Hooters. Very R rated material and not the greatest comedy in the world.

Really bad movie!!

Funny, ass movie.
I don't care what you guys say, your kids can not be censored forever. This is america, and the Nazis can't come in and say Bad News Bears is bad. It's your fault for taking your kids, and if you've seen Bad Santa, and Monster Ball, that should give you the idea that Billy Bob Thornton is a good actor when it comes to being the worst kind of person. Fucking douche bags.

If you want negative role models for your kids, let them see this movie
Words alone cannot describe what a piece of garbage this movie is. Not remotely suitable for children, even over 13. Billy Bob Thornton should not even be allowed to make so-called kid's movies.

HORRIBLE!
Not a good movie. The kids and grown ups are mean to one another. They use horrible lanuge. There is a swear word in every sentence. And they make fun of a child in a wheel chair. They also drink in the begging of the movie.

I rate this title off for age 13 and give itWaste of Time!
I took my children to see this and was thorough disappointed. I had seen the original movie, and do not remember anything nearly as offensive. Was embarrased to have kids hear this, but unfortunately was at the drive-in and it's hard to leave in the middle for fear that I might run someone over. Luckily, my 5 year old fell asleep, and I was able to explain to my 10 year old that this was not acceptable.
