I think that the first Major league" movie is seriously overrated . It's a nothing special comedy with cliché story and flat slapstick humor. It's watchable and somewhat funny if you're in the right mood comedy. I'm surprised that it became a hit and classic for some people. So Hollywood made a sequel that was pretty much just as uninspired as the first movie , but this time nobody liked the movie . I guess however that it made some good money. So , here it is – "Major league 3".It doesn't matter you didn't wanted it at all. Let's milk some money from that cow , even if it's long dead.No star from the first two movies return here – No Charlie Sheen , Tom Berenger , Rene Russo , Omar Epps or Wesley Snipes. Sure we have Cerrano , Tanaka, Roger Dorn and Harry Doyle ,but that's it. The only known person from the cast is Ted McGinley ("Married with children"). The hero here is
I don't remember. He is played by
I don't remember. The story is about
I don't remember. The movie is completely lame and forgettable. Oh yes , that I remember.Avoid it , even if you liked the first two movies. Avoid it especially if you didn't liked any of the first two movies. I give it 1/10.

I can't speak for the franchise it's based off of. I saw "Major League", the original movie, once and to be honest, was rather disappointed that it wasn't as good as "Back to the Minors", which I had seen several times at that point.Since other reviews have done a good job describing it, but may contain spoilers, I'll try to give the flavor in this one without the spoilers. BTTM is a great baseball movie for sitting back with some popcorn and having a laugh. It's a bit like "The Sandlot" except geared more towards adults in terms of story-line and humor. That's not to say kids can't watch it. There isn't a ton of swearing (one or two words) and nothing over the top sexually (unless you count a woman wearing a nice bathrobe.) I'm perfectly fine with letting my 9yr old baseball playing son see it, but some of the story might be a bit over his head.The movie has lots of unique/memorable characters, a solid underdog story-line, and lots of humor sprinkled through-out. The humor is largely visual gags and some verbal word play. It's light on mean-spirited and crass humor. This was something that I found less than appealing about the original (from what I recall, it was over a decade ago at this point), it seemed to rely more on that sort of humor, which I'm not a huge fan of in those kinds of doses and would certainly not let my son watch at this age. Good movie for former baseball and fastpitch softball players who may be reminded of former coaches (both good and bad) and crazy teammates. Might even be a good family movie for parents with slightly older children, but you'd want to view it first to make certain it's a good fit for you.

Perhaps not the big names as the first two installments of the series, but an enjoyable movie that teaches that you don't have to be biggest or the best, as long as you give it all you've got and have fun. Scott Backula gives a great and convincing performance as a minor league coach, Ted McGinley does what he does best, play a self centered egotistical, overbearing idiot. He has been brilliant with the same type character in vehicles like "Married With Children." Who else could have pulled this character off. This movie delves into some of the situations faced by both major and minor league players. There are good players who spend their entire baseball careers in minor league. In the days we live in of multimillion contracts, and players who think they are gods, it might be better to see men who play the sport more for fun than money. Perhaps if some of the Major League stars in real life would learn to have fun playing, then we as fans would get a better game.

Horribly unfunny comedy that jumps through all the hoops of a misdirected and miswritten comedy sequel. Everything that made the first film amusing and funny is lacking here, and so is the cast - in fact, the only returning castmember is Corbin Bernsen. And no wonder - just look at his film profile.One to skip.1/5 stars -John Ulmer
