Full of interesting characters and placed in a charged setting, but the preachy and obvious spin it takes is ultimately melodramatic and predictable.

The Bad News Bears Go to Japan

Fresh perspectives offer fresh ideas, even if they don’t result in a smile and a happy Frank Sinatra song about love.
