"Bad news bears" [titles of full-length works should be capitalized and either underlined or italicized] is a gritty comedy that follows a drunk swimming pool cleaner that takes cash and in return has to coach a little league baseball team (the Bears). Buttermaker (the drunk) had no idea what he signed up for when he goes [shift in tense; had/goes] to practice he sees the team is full of non-athletic children with little to no baseball knowledge or skill.
The movie continues on to show additions to the team that make them actually good, and how Buttermaker ends up actually liking the kids and enjoys coaching them.
I enjoyed this movie because it reversed the roles of children and adults. I say this because in the movie the children are playing the roles usually an adult would. They cuss, fight, and on a rare occasion the two additions [ringers?] to the team Kelly and Cleveland [I thought Cleveland was the female equipment manager for the league who is friendly with Yankee coach Roy Turner] have chemistry. I like this especially because it shows you don't need to be an adult to go through adult things. Also I enjoyed how the movie shoes butter maker getting a soft spot for the game and kids, he started to enjoy their company and not just care about winning but the kids enjoyment of the game itself [Elijah, could you offer more text evidence in support of these ideas? I would like you to talk more about the conflict between Buttermaker and Turner, Turner's actions towards his own son Billy, and Buttermaker's transformation. How is it that we know that Buttermaker cares about the kids and values things other than winning the championship?]
