Review of Major League (1989) by Jason O — 14 Aug 2009

I finally saw "Major League" and now I see why it's so popular. A woman (Rachel Phelps) who just wants to move the Cleveland Indians to Miami so she can get richer recruits what she thinks are the worst possible players and coaches that she can in order for the Indians to come in dead last. Included on the team is a clever coach (Tom Berenger), a blazing pitcher (Charlie Sheen), and a great athlete (Wesley Snipes), among others. Once the baseball team finds out about Mrs. Whitton's (Rachel Phelps) evil plan, they set a goal to win the whole thing. But it won't be easy because Cleveland hasn't even won the pennant in over 30 years.

"Major League" is a great all-around movie. It's funny, it has an intriguing plot, and it features a great performance from all the baseball stars. If you like comedy movies that will make you laugh and do more than just keep you interested, I recommend getting "Major League." NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. I don't remember many sequences from this film now, so it didn't stick with me like I thought it would, but I'd love to see it again and see the sequels, which I never have.
