Billy Bob Thornton stars as Morris Buttermaker a former big league pitcher who accepts a paid assignment to coach the Bears, a team that's notorious for having lost more games than any other team in Little League history. But the coach (Greg Kinnear) of the champion team will not stand for a low-life, drunkard dirtying up his pristine league, which is exactly the inspiration the Bears coach needs to make something of his clumsy players. Also with Marcia Gay Harden, Timmy Deters and Sammi Kane Kraft. Directed by Richard Linklater. [1:51]

SEX/NUDITY 5 - A woman tells a man that she is attracted to him, and she acts aroused (she is breathing erratically and caresses her chest, etc.); we later see him walking out of her bedroom with his shoes in his hand and his shirt untucked, implying that they have had sex.
► Scantily clad women sit on the bleachers and cheer for a team at every game (their outfits reveal cleavage and bare abdomens and bare thighs and when they cheer they wiggle and thrust their hips and pat their buttocks).
