The Bad News Bears
in Breaking Training (1977)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 11/13

11/13: The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training sucks more than a thousand of vacuum cleaners.

The child actors are the worst. That kid who plays the effeminate-looking Carmen takes the cake for stinking up every scene she appears in. Although William Devane brings a lot of energy to the film, his performance is a tad overdone, especially during the baseball practices.

California Champions? The Bears don't look any better than they did on the very first day of practice in the original. For them to get in championship form within several days to play in a rinky-dinky four-inning charity game, the filmmakers are trying too hard to pull the wool over my eyes.

All in all, The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training should be smashed into pieces with a Louisville Slugger bat.
