Major League

Pros: baseball, plenty of notable actors, storyline
Cons: somewhat predictable

Major League is a movie that came out in 1989 about the Cleveland Indians. But, it is about a lot more than just those lovable Indians. At the time the movie was made, the Indians were the laughing-stock of Major League baseball. Cleveland was considered ...

Pros: acting, comedy, pacing, authentic feel
Cons: some parts of the plot don't work well

A trend began somewhere in the 1980’s where fictional movies about baseball began using real teams as their setting, rather then also creating a fictional team. This had good and bad points. It gave more credibility to many films about the Major ...

Pros: Funny lines and plenty of quality actors
Cons: Quite predictable with lots of adult language

I've always had difficulty enjoying sports films, specifically baseball movies. Things have changed in the last several years because authenticity has become more important in sports films, which I'm pleased about. However, there was a time when baseball...

Pros: Lots of stars; solid, entertaining story
Cons: Predictable as all get-out

Major League is one of many movies that have found an audience in spite of scores of critics who panned the thing. Sure, the criticisms that this film is predictable and mawkish are true. However, the time-worn story is pulled off very well by a...

Pros: Really funny. Honest.
Cons: Blatantly derivative

When it comes to movies, I'm pretty hardcore in my opinions about what is "good" and what is "bad". I'm even pretty strong in my feelings about movies that are mediocre. This probably comes from spending my formative years in my dad's book & video store ...

Pros: Great cast, hilarious scenarios and one-liners, fun and simple story
Cons: Plotwise it does get predictable

1989 was the year of two of the biggest baseball movies to hit the cinema. One was Kevin Costner's Field of Dreams, a symbolic, sentimental baseball movie. Then there was that other movie, Major League, a crude goofball comedy featuring a ...

Pros: Crazy characters on a very unusual baseball team
Cons: Rated R for nudity, sexual situations, and language

Well, after several years of playing it finally happened! I broke my Major League video and had to have it replaced. Naturally I jumped right out here to Half.com's link on Epinions and ordered another copy pronto because I don't know if I could...

Pros: Bob Uecker's hilarious performance. Great ensemble cast. Accurate depiction of baseball and fan enthusiasm.
Cons: None come to mind.

I was a fan of the Atlanta Braves in the 1980's. During this time, they were an absolutely terrible team. They constantly finished last and lost about 100 games a year. So imagine the great feeling I had when the Braves turned things around in 1991 and ...

Pros: Funny, great lines, and a lot of baseball.
Cons: Not that smart. Very predictable.

For everyone who hates the "Business of Baseball," you will love Major League. Yes, it is a dumb comedy movie; however, it certainly hits hard on greed in the game. Set in Reagan-era America, the movie shows baseball as it was meant to be, fun. The ...

Pros: funny as all hell, amazing casting, solid plot, spleen busting hilarious original jokes
Cons: none

Overview...
Folks, never has a slapstick comedy evolved into such a masterpiece moreso than for Major League. This movie has to be the funniest film I have ever seen in my entire life, and even though I have seen it now roughly...

Pros: Funny, Hooray For The Underdogs theme, Great cast
Cons: Only One - the language. If it were not for the language, and some mild sexual content (very mild - more innuendo than anything) this would be a great movie for the whole family. Minor con, in my opinion.

Pros: Good cast, good acting, funny scenes
Cons: Adult supervision for children with some cursing

Major League is, in some ways, a "re-make" of The Bad News Bears or the New York Mets, back in 1962. Its all star cast, Tom Berenger, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernson and Charlie Sheen, plays baseball for the Cleveland Indians. They must overcome...

Pros: One of the best sports related movies
Cons: None

When it comes to Sports and movies, I am pretty much fair game for seeing them. I remember Major League being released in 1989 I wasn’t aware that a handful of the actors were going to be so popular. Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Tom...

Pros: Good humor, good "underdog" baseball movie
Cons: Not for romantic evenings

"Major League" is a film that combines the timeless tale of the underdog with state of the art 80s toilet humor, and the result is thoroughly entertaining.

The new Cleveland Indians team is created to be so bad that attendance will...

Pros: Very funny and entertaining
Cons: I wish it was a little longer.

I got to tell you this is one of the funniest baseball movies and one of the funniest movies that I have ever seen.

This movie is about a team that was put together purposely just to be bad so that the owner Rachel Phelps could sell the ball...
