What's the Good News?

Turns out the new movie, "The Bad News Bears," is pretty funny.

Billy Bob Thornton plays the role he was born to perform -- a scuzzy, broken-down, drunk coaching a Little League Baseball team of misfits.

Thornton's character, Buttermaker, does stuff like take the team to Hooters to celebrate after games and convinces a local strip club to sponsor the team.

His salty advice to these 12-year-olds is hilarious -- and they give it right back to him.

Marcia Gay Harden plays the uptight mother who finds herself falling for Bad Boy Buttermaker.

It's no kiddie picture, but this adult laughed a lot.
