Billy Bob Thornton delivers a wickedly funny performance in this hilarious hit from the director of SCHOOL OF ROCK. Morris Buttermaker (Thornton), former pro ballplayer-turned-exterminator, expects to make some easy money coaching a struggling Little League team called the Bears. What he gets is a ragtag group of inept players who transform the field of dreams into the stuff of nightmares! Taunted by an arrogant rival coach (Kinnear), pressured by his new employer (Harden), and challenged by the Bears, Buttermaker must somehow step up to the plate and help his players become something they never imagined they could be: a team.
"Billy Bob Thornton is the best weapon against cute that a kid baseball movie ever had. He whacks the laughs out of the park without breaking a sweat." -- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
