The same basic formula is applied in Breaking Training as was in the first BNB film, only the first roughly 30+ minutes of Breaking Training is basically just the team itself filling the screen with their shenanigans. There's a handful of decent scenes in the first 30 minutes, but the fim doesn't actually become watchable until William DeVane's character is introduced, so finally we can view a film with a talented lead and not a bunch of basically talentless child actors playing their narrow stereotypes and repeating their same joke every other scene. Maybe this was part of the director's plan to have an almost unwatchable chaos until a proper coach (actor) was paired with the team to return order and discipline as would be in reality. If this is the case, it was a risky choice, but at least it was successful as the movie finds it's groove with DeVane firmly at the till and the final act hits all the familiar Bad News Bears big game climaxes. All in all Breaking Training is watchable, but definitely not repeated viewings.
