Customer Reviews

Underrated by many
People think Major League, and they think Rick "The Wild Thing" Vaughn, Willie "Mays" Hayes and Pedro Cerrano. This film has nothing to do with those Indians teams from 1 & 2, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

I think they should have just simply renamed the film. There's nothing wrong with having a different name for a film with a few of the same characters such as Roger Dorn, Pedro Cerrano and Taka Tanaka.

This movie comes out with some good baseball knowledge for both on the field and off the field stuff. Pops McGee and Doc who's fastballs couldn't kill a fly if it hit is straight on are great examples of what you see in the minors. Guys with heart who just aren't good enough to make it to the Bigs. Then there's the prima donna top prospect "Downtown" Anderson who thinks he's the next Ken Griffey Jr.

This film is meant to be fun, it's not supposed to be Bull Durham. It delivers what it wanted to deliver...entertainment. Especially for the baseball fan who doesn't want to see a monkey or a 10 year become a major leaguer. Although Little Big League is underrated as well, but that's a different story.

I would give this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars if it were possible, but we can't vote like that here, so I rounded it up.

It is what it is and nothing more
I'll admit that the only reason I even considered watching this film is the fact that Kenny Johnson and Walton Goggins are in it. I'm a huge fan of The Shield and wanted to see the actors in more films. Was I very critical before I saw it? Yeah I was, how could you not be.

Like I said before, the movie is what it is. A goofy, often funny, movie that's almost entertaining the entire way through. Yes it's bad, but it's also enjoyable in that way. It's not trying to be a classic, it's trying to be a fun movie. And in that way I think it's very enjoyable.

Most fans of the other two major league films are very critical of this one. In my opinion, I really don't consider this a film in that trilogy. Yeah I know it shares the name of the other two, but it's just different. It's really just a film on it's own, and that's the way I think it should be seen as.

a good movie for its budget
the Major league series is a good series and this is a good movie. I thought it was dumb though how they where with the Indians and now they are with the Twins but I guess the Indians are better now and cost more money to get their rights. This movie had a very low budget and you can tell but they do a great job even so. this isn't going to be the best movie ever but if you want a good movie to watch watch this one
