This follow-up to 1989's unexpected comedy hit Major League continues the broadly humorous adventures of the misfit Cleveland Indians. No longer the scrappy survivors who pulled off an upset champions... read more read more...hip victory, the Indians have let success go to their heads, accepting movie roles and hefty endorsement deals. Unfortunately, with success comes complacency, and the Indians soon wind up back in last place. When this poor performance winds up threatening the franchise, the team rediscovers its roots and again achieves unlikely success. Original director David S. Ward brings back most of the first film's memorable characters, including unconventional pitcher Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn (Charlie Sheen), voodoo practitioner-turned-Buddhist Pedro Cerrano (Dennis Haysbert), and base stealer-turned-movie star Willie Mays Hayes (Omar Epps, replacing Wesley Snipes). ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

    It continues the laughs from the first Major League film. The team has a new female owner. About the same as the first film. I liked seeing James Gammon as the crusty coach.

    decent but a shadow of the first

    Not as good as the first but defenitley up there in the list of top sports movies.

    It comes back with another round of baseball. Nothing special.
  • April 21, 2010
    Not as good as the first. Omar Epps does an admirable job filling in for Wesley Snipes, but it just was kind of tired.
  • December 5, 2009
    Really, nothing more than rehash from the first one. The Indians still suck (what's new?) They switched Wesley Snipes for Omar Epps in the Willie Mays Hayes role and it seriously affected the cast's chemistry. On top of that you bring in a no-talent hack like David Keith, insert ... read morethat Randy Quaid nutjob into a central role as a fan, and eliminate, for the most part, James Gammon's team skipper role, which is the best role of the first film. But the worst thing was turning Charlie Sheen into a clean-cut corporate stool pigeon. THAT is your attempt at originality? Give me a break. Some funny moments. The Japanese player brought some hilarity. But it was very limited.

    I like this especially that one of all of them was fighting and Willie Hayes told the catcher that he was not going to slide and goes flying in the air.
  • July 10, 2008
    David S. Ward strikes out with this sequel, half as funny considering the actual Indians actually aren't that bad anymore.
  • May 23, 2008
    not as good as the original of course...nothing against omar epps, but i hate actor changes on a character...still okay...better than part 3!!

Leonard Klady, Variety

A singularly unfunny, dramatically tepid follow-up to 1989's $ 50 million theatrical success. Full Review

Caryn James, New York Times

There has rarely been such a steep and strange decline between a movie and its sequel as the one between the fast, silly original and the dismal, boring Major League II. Full Review

Roger Ebert

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The humor is so predictable, forced and awkward that the actors sometimes seem like helpless bystanders. Full Review

I expect a certain number of contrivances in a baseball movie, especially one that's not meant to be taken seriously, but nothing prepared me for the sheer avalanche of formulas and cliches that fill ... Full Review

They don't come any fouler than Major League II. Full Review

Generally feels like a case of needless extra innings. Full Review

Inexplicably outshines the original.

Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

A real foul ball; another in a plethora of unnecessary sequels.

Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

Copies the first one, but forgets the charm and good humor.

Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle

You've got to know something is terribly wrong when Bob Uecker's performance is amongst a movie's few high points. Full Review
