 | this is THE best baseball comedy i've ever seen! and whoever dosen't think that HAS GOT NO MARBLES! i mean, you can't not like the goofy characters in this movie, unless your like Roger Ebert that can't rate a movie over 3 stars if his life depended on it. i haven't even watched the first "Major League" Movie and it wasn't hard to understand what was going on, the Cleveland Indians are in the season after their huge come-back season, and the team is losing it's focus, and can barely win games; their star players Rick Vaughn, Willie "Mays" Hayes, and Pedro Cerano just can't pull together their act, Vaughn stopped pitching fast, Hayes is hitting for the fences and is missing them all the time, and Cerano has picked up the buddhism religion, which changed him from the Cuban dude with a bad attitude, to an everything loving pansey. but to help, the Indians signed the free agent, Jack Parkman, who dumps the Indians to go to the Chicago White Sox, when he sees that the team is full of losers. and from there the fun starts, from dissing to rude comedy, to gutspilling scenes (from laughter I mean) this movie will have you laughing your head off. |

| Corny, convoluted, and cliched, MAJOR LEAGUE 2 is still a delightfully entertaining sequel. Though not an out and out spoof such as NAKED GUN or SCARY MOVIE, this baseball comedy gives us laughs in subtle and blatantly obvious ways. David Keith was perfect in his role as the supremely egotistical Jack Parkman; Eric Bruskotter is a revelation as Rube; Dennis Haysbert is a delightful Cerrano; Omar Epps replaces Wesley Snipes as base stealer, movie star Willie Mayes Hayes; and bitchy Margaret Whitton is back as vile as ever. Charlie Sheen and Tom Berenger have the leading roles and they do well; Allison Doody and Michelle Burke are the love interests, and Bob Uecker as always is hilarious!!! So sit back and let the miracle team take you over the top again! |

I was a big fan of Major League, but was somewhat disappointed in Major League II, even though I think it's worth having, and it is an enjoyable movie to watch.
In the first Major League, we got a first class baseball story of unlikely heroes, which held up well even though I thought the personal lives of some of the players was stressed a little too much. In Major League II, which is still entertaining, I think the chemistry suffered because of this and other continuity issues. For instance, Wesley Snipes, the base stealing pheenom, was replaced by another actor, yet we are supposed to believe he's the same person. Doesn't quite work. Our memories aren't THAT short. Also, the love interest focus switched from Tom Berenger to Charlie Sheen, which is ok, but we are supposed to know all about (and root for) a former girlfriend we have never seen before, whose existence wasn't even hinted at in the first film. And finally, the chemistry suffered a little more because the feud between the owner and the players was reintroduced in an unlikely way (why would she buy the team back if she wanted to get out of Cleveland so bad in the first film?). This antagonism which worked so well in the first film falls flat in the second (also it is introduced late, almost as an afterthought). Still the second film was enjoyable and as part of the series is a must-have.
But if you're considering this don't neglect Major League 3, Back to the Minors, which presents many new characters (while retaining several of the old favorites especially Cerrano) and all is well done with spontaneity and good chemistry. The action, photography, writing, gags, and music all work well together and for me it's now hard to pick a favorite between I and III.
Just get them all.
