No longer the scrappy survivors who pulled off an upset championship 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

Critic Reviews
-
Leonard Klady, Variety
A singularly unfunny, dramatically tepid follow-up to 1989's $ 50 million theatrical success.
-
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.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The humor is so predictable, forced and awkward that the actors sometimes seem like helpless bystanders.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
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 the screen in Major League II.
-
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
They don't come any fouler than Major League II.
