Review – Major League 2

Worthy sequel to one of baseball’s better movies. Beset by the genre’s usual sappiness, this film nonetheless works in some first-class sight gags and the like. For instance, the Rick Vaughn (Charlie Sheen) deodorant commercial is one of the great moments of screen comedy. Most real baseball fans will also recognize the Randy Quaid character (though of course those guys usually aren’t that witty). It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the sequel isn’t quite as fresh as the original, but on the other hand it doesn’t waste as much time on the Berenger/Russo subplot (in fact, she’s barely in it at all). Worth seeing
