“Itu0026#39;s strange how people look at Will Farrell movies u0026amp; think Will is the funny guy. Will is sometimes a weird guy (in fact in this soccer movie, he is a weird coach). But in most movies, Wills best moments are making others seem funny when they play off of him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn this movie where the Bad News Bears do soccer in a way, Will Ferrell makes Mike Ditka look good. He makes Robert Duvall look good. He even makes the kids look good. Will is just pretty much himself, weird and a little out of touch with reality. Make that a whole lot out of touch with reality.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStill, the support he gets in this movie is priceless. The concept of the team arriving late at a soccer game in a Butcher truck all wearing bloody aprons is inspired. Some of the other things are creative u0026amp; cute too. The films end is predictable, but a little different. Overall, it is entertaining for a young audience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMike Ditka should find some more movie work. He is pretty good in this, u0026amp; is missed when he leaves the film for a while.”
