Editorial Review:
She s beautiful smart goal-oriented and she just inherited the Cleveland Indians. Unfortunately she wants to move the franchise to Miami and a losing season is her only ticket to Florida. So she signs the wildest gang of screwballs that ever spit tobacco. They re handsome but they re hopeless! Her catcher (Tom Berenger) is a washed-up womanizer who struck out in life. Her ace pitcher (Charlie Sheen) is a punked-out crazy who struck out with the law. And her third baseman (L.A. Law s Corbin Bernsen) is more concerned fielding endorsements than grounders. Throw in a busload of other misfits and you ve got yourself a hilarious line-up that s destined for disaster! Or is it?System Requirements:Running Time: 106 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/PARODY & SPOOF Rating: R UPC: 097361380247 Manufacturer No: 138024
Description of Major League:
A baseball comedy and slob comedy rolled into one, this one actually works as entertainment, if not as a piece of cinematic mastery. James Gammon is the has-been manager hired to lead the last-place Cleveland Indians whose owner wants them to lose so she can sell them. But the team of has-beens and never-wases that he assembles (including Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen, and Wesley Snipes) develops a sense of pride and turns the team around. There's plenty of rowdy humor about sex, race, and whatever else they can make fun of. Look for Rene Russo (in her first film role) as Berenger's romantic interest; Snipes also had his first showy role as Willie Mays Hayes, the team's base-stealing ace. --Marshall Fine
