Too many fans seem to be blown away
Excellent but underrated film
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
View MoreMajor League 3: Back to the Minors (1998): Dir: John Warren / Cast: Scott Bakula, Corbin Bernsen, Ted McGinley, Jensen Daggett, Bob Uecker: Comedy about starting over, which should have been done with the first draft of the screenplay. It continues the ever declining baseball storyline that was old in the 1920's. A down and out coach will train a bunch of hopeless yuppies that will defeat the rival team so that everybody will respect them for giving it all in one of the worst films of the year. Throw in a little voodoo and a bunch of misfits who draw attention to themselves by simply being morons and you have this film in a nutshell. Director John Warren is labouring under leftovers and not a shred of originality to be found. Scott Bakula plays the struggling coach who will bring the team to the championship thus making everybody proud save for the audience. Others whom were led into believing that this was a career high point are Corbin Bernsen, Ted McGinley and Jensen Daggett who will no doubt be recommended to leave this off their resumes. Bob Uecker pops in as a sports reference and had Andre the Giant been alive, he may have choked out Uecker a second time for this. This is among the worst of its kind but that list is also very long. It is riding on the success of the previous two films and it strikes out within the first ten minutes. That is, if you happen to stay awake that long. Score: 1 / 10
View MoreOK, I don't know how many people have noticed this, but in the scene when Gus and Maggie are in Dorn's office in the Metrodome there is a framed set of Twins home and road jerseys. the number on the jerseys is 4 and the name on the back of the road jersey is Collins. At the time, Minnesota only had player names on the backs of the roads jerseys. Anyway, Collins 4 is the name and number of Timothy Busfield's character in Little Big League. Also both movies were made by different studios, so Someone either placed the jerseys in there to see if anyone was paying attention, or it was just a fluke. Also, Little Big League also centers around the Minnesota Twins.
View MoreHorribly 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
View MoreMajor League 3, in my opinion, far exceeded the first 2 Major League comedies with humor and a good story. I had a hard time staying awake while watching the first 2 but this one had me laughing almost the whole time. This is the kind of humor that fans of movies such as "UHF", "Bill and Ted's Exellent Adventure", and "Monty Python: The Search for The Holy Grail" should thoroughly enjoy. If you like watching a movie that has 'mostly' clean humor that you don't have to think about why or what happened, this is a good choice.
