Bert and Bertie's TROOP ZERO (2019)

It's Bad News Bears but minus the Bizet
With "Birdie Scouts" instead of baseball boys 
And where belongeth Tatum, rather, they
Have Charlie Shotwell. While there's much less noise
And cursing, there is cuteness here to spare.
The misfit kids are excellent and then 
Viola Davis plays for Matthau. Care
To guess how all this ends? Go 'head and spend
Some time with these wee charmers and you'll find
It spent amused enough. One extra, though, 
It's set back in the '70s. You'll find
The art direction nearly steals the show. 
It's got more edge than we expect from fluff, 
But in the end, no challenge. Just fun stuff.
