If you loved The Bad News Bears, try The Candidate
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Michael Ritchie, and they both carry the bittersweet, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Bad News Bears, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Candidate is
Politics gets a humorous spin. Bill McKay runs for Senate. It mostly achieves moderate satire.
