Review of Major League (1989) by Dann M — 11 Mar 2014

Major League is a classic sports comedy that steals a lot of laughs. In an attempt to move the Cleveland Indiana, the new owner recruits a band of misfit players in order to drive down attendance to an all-time low in a spectacular losing season.

With an all-star lineup that includes Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen, Bob Uecker, and Wesley Snipes, the casting is quite good. The comedy is also especially well-done, and has a subtle edge to it that doesn't draw too much attention to the gags.

Still, most of the characters are one-note and the plot is formulaic. While Major League isn't a grand slam, it's still entertaining and goes the full nine innings.
