Dorathen Better Late Then Never

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Wizard-8 "The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training" was rushed into production when the original movie quickly struck box office gold. It shows. While I wouldn't call this sequel awful, it all the same isn't a very engaging experience. Despite the departures of the Walter Matthau and Tatum O'Neal characters (whose disappearances are never explained) it could have worked. There is early promise in the scenes where the team takes charge for themselves to get to Texas. But soon things go flat. The movie lacks the hard edge of the first movie, both with humor and with delivering any messages. The subplot between the William Devane character and his son is too simplistic, and wrapped up way too quickly. And the surrounding material more often than not can be considered padding. Oh, there are some mildly amusing moments here and there, but not enough to raise this movie from being a real disappointment.

linz18 this is a movie for every one it has great scenes and every thing. the casting was good if you liked the first one you'll like this the best scenes are the ones with jackie and his father and who the fight and solve things and you'll like every thing they do they try to pick up a hitchhiker they rent a hotel they play against a team in Mexican they loose but they tried their best jimmy baio is in this one and his performances great but if you miss Amanda from the first one its okay because you'll love every body's performance you'll like the good performance of their couch and every one else and you'll like how the van is colorful

hagg Call me crazy, but this is my favorite movie of the Bad News Bears movie series! The story of the Bears travelling from California to Texas for a game at the Astrodome san parental supervision might be far fetched for some to swallow, but overall the charasmatic leads of Jackie Earle Haley and William Devane make it all work. However, the real star of the show is Chris Barnes as Tanner Boyle, whatever happened to you Chris i do not know, but your portrayal of Tanner has always had me and my friends rolling on the living room floor for decades! Great to see on DVD, too bad Paramount couldn't even see fit to include even a lousy trailer! oh well, it is good to have the Bears back!

Movie-Robot This movie is a headache waiting to happen. Seeing these kids after the onset of puberty isn't fun or cute to watch anymore. In fact, it's not even humane to watch this movie.Somehow, the lowly Bears are playing for the national little league championship in the glorious Houston Astrodome. Their new coach is none other than William Devane. The not-so-climactic game is an endless montage of bunts and Devane yelling irrelevant nonsense like "Attaboy!" from the 3rd-base coaching box. I could swear Devane is looking at chicks off-camera during some scenes.The good thing about this turd (by the way, I think original BNB is the best sports movie for kids or adults) - writer Paul Brickman did this dud along with Deal Of The Century, but was allowed the chance to make his own films Risky Business and Men Don't Leave which were both great.
