Funny if uninspired

I didn't think this was as awful as many reviews claim, in fact I think it is "good old days" hindsight that has many claim the original was so much better. In fact, this is almost a carbon copy of the original from the musical score right down to the disturbing clone who plays Tanner. There are updates to be sure and I thought there were some unnecessary moments and changes made (why the switch from Chico's Bail Bonds to a strip club?) but it is every bit as "offensive" as it was in 1976 and it is what it is: a crude movie about a bunch of misfits who show the sleepy little world of suburbia that not everyone is a perfect little tool. Is it an original idea? No. But it does make for some good laughs and there is enough of a message, albeit a heavy-handed one, about sportsmanship, the "everyone's a winner" mentality vs. the "win at all costs" attitude, and acceptance.
Billy Bob Thornton and Greg Kinnear do well reprising Matthau and Morrow and the kids are all fittingly obnoxious when they need to be.
