April 29, 2008I loved it. Seriously, yet again Billy Bob Thornton has proven to be a genius and aced his role. He is hella funny when his character is mean to kids.. not sure why but I was loving every minute of it. No bad news for this movie :)

At least Linklater isn't just picking the bones of his forebears; he honors them as they deserve. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
If you missed The Bad News Bears the first time around, this one might be worth catching just for Thornton; otherwise, it's just extra innings on a game that's already played out. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Perhaps someday French auteurists will be able to figure out how Bad News Bears fits into the cinematic oeuvre of Richard Linklater. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The kids in this knowing, tirelessly belligerent retread are as coarse and obnoxious as they ever were, maybe more so. And therein lies the problem. full review
July 22, 2005
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Stranded between pushing the scatological envelope and caving in to the formulas the 1976 movie established, and until the well-nigh foolproof ending, it comes up gasping for air. full review
July 21, 2005
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Appreciably funnier and more profane than its '70s-era ancestor. full review
July 21, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The progress of the story is predictable, as it is in all movies about underdogs. They are bad, and will get better. full review
