One of the great sports comedies

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2014)

As baseball movies go, MAJOR LEAGUE is my favorite. Been that way since I was a kid, and the laughs are still fresh today. It boasts a terrific collection of characters (pretty much the whole cast - even smartass Bob Uecker - but mostly Berenger, Snipes and Sheen), and MAJOR LEAGUE II even proved that you can't just replace Snipes' charisma with another guy. I love this movie's profane attitude, that these misfits band together in one collective middle finger to the team's shrew owner. There's some real heart here and it's a great down-n-dirty triumph over opposition story.
But at the end of the day, it's a great comedy with more than a few memorable one-liners and a winning sense of humor. It's even a great Cleveland movie. And I always forget, between the editing and the roar of the crowd, just how charged that final game is.
Be ready to wear a smile when the end credits hit, 'cause there's no other possible facial expression. It's just science.
It's a fantastic movie.
9/10
