Who's on Worst: Bad News Bears (2005)

Remakes are very rarely a good idea.

Sometimes they can be a fun homage to the original, as many say the more recent Evil Dead is, and other franchises will treat them as a soft reboot rather than an outright remake. But more often than not what we see is studios looking to make a fast buck with minimal effort by rehashing a property they already own the rights to.

That latter scenario is on full display in Bad News Bears 2005. A film that has no idea who its audience is, and doesn’t necessarily seem to care, looking to cash in on the success of Billy Bob Thornton’s turn in Bad Santa.
