...Evelyn is, as her husband points out, “just too damn happy.” The shock she displays upon winning a bicycle is almost as affected as the unfazed façade she puts on for her kids when Kelly tears into one of his asinine drunken outbursts.

So much testosterone proved to be a combustible package, with infighting, drunken frolics, doors bashed in and one competitor urinating on another's bed. The payoff? Most episodes ended with a vicious fight to eliminate a contestant. The ratings spiked for Spike, and the Griffin-Bonnar light-heavyweight showdown, the live finale of the series, saw 2.6 million late-night viewers tune...

Plus, Bears is a pretty dark kids' movie, with a script by the guys who wrote the liquored-up Christmas movie, Bad Santa. The new film centers on a drunken, lecherous former pro player (Billy Bob Thornton, taking Walter Matthau's role) who agrees to coach a bunch of talentless Little Leaguers in exchange for cash.
