Full Plot Details

Rachel Phelps is the new owner of the Cleveland Indians baseball team. However, her plans for the team are rather nefarious. She wants to move the team to Miami for the warmer climate and a new stadium. To justify the move, the team has to lose, and lose badly. So she assembles the worst possible team she can. Among these are a past-his-prime catcher with bad knees, a shrewd but past-his-prime pitcher, a young tearaway pitcher (and felon) with a 100 mph fastball but absolutely no control, a third baseman who is too wealthy and precious to dive, a voodoo-loving slugger who can't hit a curve ball and an energetic-but-naive lead off hitter and base-stealer who can't keep the ball on the ground. Against the odds, and after the inevitable initial failures, they iron out some of their faults and start to win, much to Ms Phelps' consternation.

Movie Reviews

Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffFor sheer crowd-pleasing fun it belts one high into the left-field bleachers.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kevin ThomasWard directs his actors as adroitly as he has written for them, and the vulnerability that he allows his three stars to reveal is really what makes the movie work. No one, not even baseball fans, should go to Major League hoping for "Bull Durham's" sex, raunch and sophistication. But "Major League" has its own ingratiating charm.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Arthur Ryel-LindseyComedy is the lasting virtue here—and more specifically what veteran screenwriter Ward (The Sting, Sleepless in Seattle) got out of a solid comic framework to make Major League continue to work beyond its odd collection of characters and a very specific setting.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksIf you're looking for a sexy, funny baseball movie with depth of character and a thought-provoking examination of love, rent Bull Durham. But if you just want some good laughs, Major League should fill the bill.
Tulsa World - 8/10 by Ron WolfeMajor League smacks a solid base hit when the players decide their best revenge against the team's owner would be to win the American League pennant. It doubles when these guys begin to come together as a real team.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumSlick predictability is about all it has in mind, down to the last trite freeze-frame.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Dave KehrMajor League is a movie that knows what it's up to. It skims along agreeable surfaces, expertly balancing its comedy with melodrama and fulfilling expectations right on schedule. As a movie, it`s a superior industrial product.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 7/10 by Steve CrumSometimes funny comedy set in major league baseball with plenty of bawdy slapstick.
TIME Magazine - 7/10 by Richard CorlissMajor League doesn't try too hard or aim too high, but it is pretty funny. With its stock characters, breezy dialogue, dense ambience and instinct for easy emotions, it could serve as the pilot for a pay-cable sitcom. The film's tone is acerb, but its climax is as predictably uplifting as Rocky's and as surefire effective as Damn Yankees'.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Caryn JamesMajor League trots out the standard formula, but has the wit to make fun of it now and then. The film is so loopy that it glides over its cliches and indulges in some congenial movie-baseball silliness.
