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

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
No classic, but it is a good example of the way light formulaic genres can be exploited for a little fun and a bunch of cheap laughs.
It won't change your life but it'll feed your soul on a Friday night.
Predictable ensemble sports comedy, and one I like a whole lot more than I probably should.
If you're looking for a sexy, funny baseball movie with depth of character and a thought-provoking examination of love, rent Bull Durham. But if you just want some good laughs, Major League should fill the bill.
If you feel the desire to rent this puppy, by all means. But don't bother with the sequels.
