Rating:  - Wanna laugh? This is it!
I wasn't looking for perfection with this movie. I'm a baseball nut and was looking for light entertainment. Was not disappointed. This movie is a riot. Sure, it's corny in spots, but what the heck - I laughed myself silly, mostly over the tricks that Gus Cantrell plays, with great results, on some of his players and especially on his nemesis, the Twins' manager. Furthermore, I learned some things about baseball that I hadn't known before.
AND I liked this movie because there was no sleeping-around in it, which seems to be the main ingredient in most movies these days; producers seem to feel the movie won't sell unless somebody is sleeping with somebody else's wife. We don't need to watch stuff like that to make us happy. Not wanting to load my mind with filth, I try to avoid R-rated shows.
".....Back to the Minors" tickled my funny-bone no end. Wish we'd have more like it. Another reason I bought it is that it offers English sub-titles, which I need. The Amazon description here of the film doesn't say that they're available, but my copy, which I bought last year, does have them.
Enjoy!!
Rating: - Back to the Minors
Good and funny like the first two Major League & Major League II
Rating:  - 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.
Rating:  - Shame to the holy name of Major League
This is just blasphemy. As a devoted (ridiculously, I might add) fan of the first, and appreciator of the second, I gotta give this one my lowest rating. Fans of the series will find little to enjoy about this made-for-video release.
Clearly, Warner is trying to squeeze every last drop out of the Major League franchise...
Rating: - It was Good
I like Major League: Back To The Minors, I found it funnier then the second Major League movie. Quantum Leap dude was a good addition to the series, I was disapointed Al wasn't there.
