Major League film Product Description



Closed Captioned; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; English Subtitles; Dolby Digital 5. Major League movie 1 Re

Cleveland Indians owner Rachel Phelps puts together the worst team she can possibly find, in the hopes that audiences will stay away and she can break her lease and move the team to Miami. Of course, the team of losers catches on to the scam and, with new-found motivation, conspire to foil her plans.

When the widow of the owner of the Cleveland Indians realizes that she is stuck with a small stadium in a cold climate, she decides that a move to a Southern, warmer climate is called for. Unfortunately the only way she can unload her stadium is due to low attendance, so she needs to plan for a losing and lackluster season. The team of misfits and losers that she has hired, though, decide that if they really pull through, they may not wind up in last place and not be the losers that the owner thinks that they are. This offbeat baseball comedy, starring Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen and Rene Russo, was a surprise 1989 hit.

Estimated budget $10-12 million.

Filmed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Cleveland, Ohio; Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. Filming began July 18, 1988. Even though the film is set in Cleveland, only the outside of Cleveland's ballpark was used. For economic reasons, the scenes inside the ballpark were filmed in Milwaukee County Stadium.

Color by Astro; prints by Technicolor.

Rated BBFC 15 by the British Board of Film Censors.

Shot in Panavision.

Released in USA April 7, 1988. Released on video October 5, 1989.

Reviewed in the New York Times April 7, 1989.

Major League Reviews:

"...[MAJOR LEAGUE] has the wit to make fun of it[self] now and then.... Wonderfully unpretentious..."
-- Caryn James, New York Times

"...The cast is attractive..."
-- Matt Roush, USA Today

"...An amiable and amusing hot weather diversion.... Ward directs his actors as adroitly as he has written from them.... MAJOR LEAGUE has its own ingratiating charm..."
-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Highly entertaining
The bereaving wife of the dead owner of the "Indians" baseball team puts together a team of misfits and no-hopers in an attempt to give her just cause to move the franchise to a sunnier climate. When the coach and team find out about her plan they rally around in an attempt to stave off the ultimate humiliation, finishing last in their league. Not much baseball but a few laughs and lots of feel good factor.
Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger and Corbin Bernstein star as the core of this no hope team.

Feel good movie for all sports fans...
I hadn't seen Major League for a number of years and couldn't get a UK version.

Major League represents a sporting pick me up, that doesn't take itself too seriously.

When you look at the cast, in today's light, there are some serious actors here who have gone on to great careers.

If you want to feel good, and see an underdog come good, this is the film for you...

One of the greatest baseball movies
This is one of the best baseball movies ever. It's rated R, mostly for it's language. It's a great comedy though, not for the whole family, but it's seriously hilarious and one just for fun.
