A washed-up and embittered baseball player struggles with bad memories of a failed sports career. When his exasperated lawyer suggests he coach a team of Little-League losers, he begins to turn himself and the youngsters into a force to be reckoned with. Richard Linklater's remake of the 1970s comedy, starring Billy Bob Thornton, Greg Kinnear, Marcia Gay Harden and Emmanuel Estrada.

Morris Buttermaker is a burned-out minor league baseball player who loves to drink and can't keep his hands to himself. His long-suffering lawyer arranges for him to manage a local Little League team, and Buttermaker soon finds himself the head of a rag-tag group of misfit players. Through unconventional team-building exercises and his offbeat coaching style, Buttermaker helps his hapless Bears prepare to meet their rivals, the Yankees.
