Consensus: Major League may be predictable and formulaic, but buoyed by the script's light, silly humor -- not to mention the well-built sports action sequences and funny performances.
Runtime: 1 hr 48 mins
Genre: Comedies
Synopsis: When the widow of the owner of the Cleveland Indians realizes that she is stuck with a small stadium in a cold climate, she decides that a move to a Southern, warmer climate is called for.... When the widow of the owner of the Cleveland Indians realizes that she is stuck with a small stadium in a cold climate, she decides that a move to a Southern, warmer climate is called for. Unfortunately the only way she can unload her stadium is due to low attendance, so she needs to plan for a losing and lackluster season. The team of misfits and losers that she has hired, though, decide that if they really pull through, they may not wind up in last place and not be the losers that the owner thinks that they are. This offbeat baseball comedy, starring Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen and Rene Russo, was a surprise 1989 hit. [More]

Reviews for Major League
The DVD presentation couldn't get more spare without actually cutting scenes from the feature.
Let's be clear, I realize it isn't the best picture ever made but, for me at last, it is certainly still one of the most purely entertaining. I love to watch it, and almost twenty years after its original release I haven't grown tired of it just one bit.
With baseball season underway, it's perfect timing to bring back this quotable classic. Remember The Ueck: "Just a bit outside!"
