Movie Reviews of Major League (Wild Thing Edition) [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: True Classic with great insight into the alt. ending
Summary: 5 Stars
Like some other reviewers here, this is one of those few movies that makes it's way into my DVD player just about every year. It's got just that perfect balance of comedy, drama, action and even a bit of romance that makes a movie great. The actors are all very good in their respective roles, including some great performances by Sheen, Berenger and a young Snipes. Special mention for Bob Ucker as well for his hilarious take on being the Indians announcer.
This Blu-ray edition is a good transfer as well. The picture is crisp and shows no visual artifacts or defects at 1080p viewing. One thing that I really enjoyed on this disc was the alt. ending scenes and what the original storyline was for the owner of the Indians and how they envisioned her arc in to end up completely differently. For those who haven't seen it, the movie would have been the same up almost till the end where they revealed that she really did love the Indians, there in Cleveland and it was her plan all along to get those personal (whom she could afford) and that manager and get them to pull it together for a playoff run.
While I don't necessarily think they should have gone with the alt. ending, I think that could have been equally as satisfying as what we got. In any case, it's a classic I'd recommend it highly.
Summary of Major League (Wild Thing Edition) [Blu-ray]
She?s beautiful, smart, goal-oriented, and she just inherited the Cleveland Indians. Unfortunately, she wants to move the franchise to Miami, and a losing season is her only ticket to Florida. So she signs the wildest gang of screwballs that ever spit tobacco. They?re handsome, but they?re hopeless! Her catcher (Tom Berenger) is a washed-up womanizer who struck out in life. Her ace pitcher (Charlie Sheen) is a punked-out crazy who struck out with the law. And her third baseman (L.A. Law?s Corbin Bernsen) is more concerned fielding endorsements than grounders. Throw in a busload of other misfits and you?ve got yourself a hilarious line-up that?s destined for disaster! Or is it?A baseball comedy and slob comedy rolled into one, this one actually works as entertainment, if not as a piece of cinematic mastery. James Gammon is the has-been manager hired to lead the last-place Cleveland Indians whose owner wants them to lose so she can sell them. But the team of has-beens and never-wases that he assembles (including Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Corbin Bernsen, and Wesley Snipes) develops a sense of pride and turns the team around. There's plenty of rowdy humor about sex, race, and whatever else they can make fun of. Look for Rene Russo (in her first film role) as Berenger's romantic interest; Snipes also had his first showy role as Willie Mays Hayes, the team's base-stealing ace. --Marshall Fine
