Rating:  - Not up to the standards of the original
While the original film was great and is one of my all-time favcorites, this sequel in no way comes up to the same standards of humor or storyline. In fact, it comes off as a blatant attempt to squeeze a few more dollars off of the original films followers. You don't need to believe me. Try renting it before you put down hard-earned cash on this wannabe...
Rating:  - good to the last drop
always somewhat skeptical when it comes to sequels. major league 2 right on target. answers some questions from number one and makes you keep laughing. good, good, good
Rating:  - Whoever thinks this is a bad movie "HAS GOT NO MARBLES!" (Taka Tanaka)
this is THE best baseball comedy i've ever seen! and whoever dosen't think that HAS GOT NO MARBLES! i mean, you can't not like the goofy characters in this movie, unless your like Roger Ebert that can't rate a movie over 3 stars if his life depended on it. i haven't even watched the first "Major League" Movie and it wasn't hard to understand what was going on, the Cleveland Indians are in the season after their huge come-back season, and the team is losing it's focus, and can barely win games; their star players Rick Vaughn, Willie "Mays" Hayes, and Pedro Cerano just can't pull together their act, Vaughn stopped pitching fast, Hayes is hitting for the fences and is missing them all the time, and Cerano has picked up the buddhism religion, which changed him from the Cuban dude with a bad attitude, to an everything loving pansey. but to help, the Indians signed the free agent, Jack Parkman, who dumps the Indians to go to the Chicago White Sox, when he sees that the team is full of losers. and from there the fun starts, from dissing to rude comedy, to gutspilling scenes (from laughter I mean) this movie will have you laughing your head off.
Rating: - Just Ok
This movie just doesn't work like the first movie, and drags a lot. Too bad.
Rating: - INDIAN SUMMER
Corny, convoluted, and cliched, MAJOR LEAGUE 2 is still a delightfully entertaining sequel. Though not an out and out spoof such as NAKED GUN or SCARY MOVIE, this baseball comedy gives us laughs in subtle and blatantly obvious ways. David Keith was perfect in his role as the supremely egotistical Jack Parkman; Eric Bruskotter is a revelation as Rube; Dennis Haysbert is a delightful Cerrano; Omar Epps replaces Wesley Snipes as base stealer, movie star Willie Mayes Hayes; and bitchy Margaret Whitton is back as vile as ever. Charlie Sheen and Tom Berenger have the leading roles and they do well; Allison Doody and Michelle Burke are the love interests, and Bob Uecker as always is hilarious!!! So sit back and let the miracle team take you over the top again!
