A special-needs Bad News Bear

Monday July 25, 2005
Well, I guess this is progress: In the latest reincarnation of the "Bad News Bears," one of the misfit players is disabled. It's not likely I'll be taking my kids to see that film, so I can't say whether this particular wheelchair-riding character strikes a blow for the dignity of children with special needs or just sits around making fart jokes; if you have seen the movie, stop by the Forum and let us know what you thought of it. (Let us know, too, whether tonight's episode of "The Closer" on TNT made good use of its autistic-child-in-peril plotline.) ... Today's Question of the Day also has movies on its mind, asking: Which of these summer flicks have you seen with your kids? ... And don't forget to try out our Weekly Quiz, currently covering blog entries from July 17-23. You'll find some movie stars there, too.
