Synopsis: This follow-up to 1989's unexpected comedy hit Major League continues the broadly humorous adventures of the misfit Cleveland Indians.

Critic Reviews

  • Leonard Klady, Variety
    A singularly unfunny, dramatically tepid follow-up to 1989's $ 50 million theatrical success. More...
  • Caryn James, New York Times
    There has rarely been such a steep and strange decline between a movie and its sequel as the one between the fast, silly original and the dismal, boring Major League II. More...
  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
    The humor is so predictable, forced and awkward that the actors sometimes seem like helpless bystanders. More...
  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

  • Rita Kempley, Washington Post
    They don't come any fouler than Major League II. More...
  • , TV Guide's Movie Guide
    Generally feels like a case of needless extra innings. More...
  • Kevin A. Ranson, MovieCrypt.com
    Inexplicably outshines the original. More...
  • Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
    A real foul ball; another in a plethora of unnecessary sequels. More...
  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
    Copies the first one, but forgets the charm and good humor. More...
  • Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
    You've got to know something is terribly wrong when Bob Uecker's performance is amongst a movie's few high points. More...
