About
You can watch The Bad News Bears (1976) on Hoopla with a participating library card, or rent on JustWatch TV.
An aging, down-on-his-luck ex-minor leaguer coaches a team of misfits in an ultra-competitive California little league.
A cynical, washed-up former ballplayer attempts to salvage his dignity by coaching a ragtag collection of unruly, uncoordinated kids. This sharp comedy trades sugary sentimentality for a biting look at failure and the messy reality of small-town competition.
