Summary: Just a fun movie and I'm in it
Review: This is more a nostalgia note than a review, but most of this movie was filmed over one summer in Milwaukee (maybe Cleveland wasn't blue-collar enough). All the baseball action scenes were filmed in County Stadium, which is now a big parking lot for Miller Park. The crew invited locals to the filming at the Stadium and other locations about town, so it has a lot of local flavor. I went to the filming of the big finale to be part of the "rabid" crowd so I'm in this move, kind of. It's fun to see Uecker do his stuff, and Pete Vukovich, a former Brewer pitcher, is perfect as Heywood, the Yankee nemesis.People from out of town said County Stadium was a dog of a ballyard, but look for the scene when Berenger sneaks onto the field at night alone and pretends to hit one out. It sure looks pretty, and I miss it.

Summary: THE best movie ever
Review: This movie is my personal favorite. Ive seen it at least 40 times and i still laugh. With lines such as "Forget about the Curve ball Ricky throw em the heater" "Is this the whales section" "if you dont help me now i say forget you Jobu" and "you cant say (that) on the air" "nobodys listening anyway" it follows a great plot and is the most funny movie ive ever seen if you have a collection or not its a must have

Summary: Whyisn't the first MAJOR LEAGUE out in DVD?
Review: This movie is perfect. Every scene moves the story and develops the characters. It is packed with quotable lines, from beginning to end.
The comedy is character-driven; the story moves logically; the editing is masterful; the music is intelligent and appropriate--in the case of the opening song by Randy Neuman, "Burn on, big River,"--it is both funny and historically accurate. The Cayahoga River was once so polluted that it actually DID catch fire, back in the '70's.
Every character is wonderful--and indespensible. Bob Uecker as "Harry Doyle" is brilliantly funny. On top of everything, it is an inspiring sports movie and an absolutely superb baseball movie.
WHY CAN'T I FIND IT ON DVD???

Review: This movie is the greatest comedy of all time. Major League 2 and 3 were nothing in comparison to this one. Its entertaining from start to finish.

Summary: Who Says Baseball Is Boring?
Review: We all remember back when this movie was made how bad the Indians were. So bad in fact that they made a movie about it and how a bunch of nobody's turned the team around. What was so ironic is that soon after this film was made, the Indians suddenly did manage to turn themselves around in real life and make their way to several playoffs in the 1990's. Perhaps this movie could be given credit for getting the ball rolling, and what a movie this is. You can't go wrong with this cast... Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Dennis Haysbert... all big names and this movie only benefits from their presence. The script is pretty original, you rarely see a movie where the owner of a sports team wants their team to lose every game possible. The comedy never comes off as hit or miss, each joke is genuine, and the characters are all quirky which is essential for a memorable comedy. It's obvious these actors went through a lot of training to make their performances on the field look believable, and it really helps you get into the movie better. I didn't care for the sequels to Major League, but they are worth a look if you liked the original. The DVD for Major League is about as bare bones as you can get unfortunately. Why? Because this is from Paramount, and they are notorious for high-priced movie-only discs. Anyway, the video is very colorful and pretty sharp, which is better than I was expecting for a movie from the late 80's. The audio is somewhat of a disappointment since it is 5.1, yet most of the soundtrack is in the front soundstage. At times during the movie you hear the crowd or the music come out of the surrounds, but it's rare. And as for extras, well you guessed it... there's absolutely none. Thanks a bunch Paramount, you never fail to disappoint your customers.

Summary: COULDN"T ASK FOR A BETTER MOVIE
Review: When i first saw "Major League" I had to see it again, it was that good. I mean the storyline is kinda predictable, but it's still a great movie. The characters make the movie so funny. Each one has something very funny about them. The one person who i thought was the funniest was WILLIE MAYS HAYS. He will crack you up again and again. The movie shows the funnier and lighter side of baseball, while keeping the focus on the importance of baseball. Get this movie and enjoy it. If you're a baseball fan don't take it too seriously. It's just a movie

Summary: Life Imititates Art
Review: Years after this movie's release the Oakland A's defeated Red Sox in 12th inning with bases loaded bunt by catcher. That is what is so great about the movie...the baseball is grounded in realistic play and not artificial home runs as in the Natural. Uecker and Gammons ( playing Manager Lou Brown) are terrific.
"Just a bit outside" is now the classic comment for a really bad pitch. Some of the voodoo stuff is overdone, but it is a fun movie
