All member reviews for The Bad News Bears

 
Not for kids. Or adults.
This movie teaches all the wrong things about sports. Give your opponents the finger. Tell them to stick their trophy up their (you know where). Rather than trying to improve, just find some better players to put on your team. Use all the worst racial epithets.

Hilarious! Ages 12+
This movie is hilarious! The only thing i'm concerned about is the language, drug use, and violence. It includes child abuse (by throwing things). Bad News Bears is about how anyone can do anything.

 
NOT an uplifting, beat-the-odds baseball picture
I was 12 when this movie came out in 1976, and I remember it fondly. What a surprise when I showed it to my kids! The language is extremely rough, and liberally strewn throughout the movie. The adults all behave extremely badly, and the children are subjected to lots of violence. Gritty, harsh, no happy ending -- not really a movie for kids.

perfect for teens
Bad words, talk of female maturaty, drunk coach, and a few bad rolmodels. Good message

Great for the 11+ aged kids but very iffy for any younger
It is a little questionable for younger children but the message at the end is right on. It could do without the ??language but I wasn't offended as much as surprised when it came out. I love this movie!

Violence (G): A dad punches his son for intentionally walking a kid. Sexual Content (G): Kelly Leak crushes on a girl on the team. Language (PG-13): geeks, sluts, n----rs, h-cs, s--t, hell d--n,

 
Horrible
The coach was really abusive to the kids. Not for ages 15 and under.

this movie is HILARIOUS!!!!!!! a great bet for anyone, sport fans or no the kids are very realistic, and yes, there is swearing, but I mean please, have you ever even been to the 5th grade? Kids swear all the time. The coach isn't a good role model, but he's not supposed to be. He's meant to be funny, so he's not a good role model. It has a strong female character, who totally kicks @$$. I mean, playing with the boys. Totally fun. Great movie Pretty appropriate except for a little language

 
Don't See It
I don't think this is "violent" but I think that the coach was abbusive to the children. I suggested this to my kids, not remembering and thinking it was a great movie. It ended up having WAY to much language, the coach was always drinking... I thought that this was going to be sweet. Instead, I felt like it wasn't a good movie. Their was no point.
