After The Green Mile I needed something light
and frothy to help heal my nervous system – so last night I watched the ultimate in
improbable feel-good movies, for something like the sixth time. It is one of my select group of secret
favorites, many of which are too embarrassing to name. This one – Major League – is funny, harmless and, yes, dumb. The plot concerns a fictitious Cleveland
Indians baseball team that almost literally returns from the dead, thanks mainly
to inspiration provided by its washed-up catcher, played by Tom Berenger. Other notables on the cast include Wesley
Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, and Charlie Sheen.
Rene Russo also is in the movie a lot, but I usually skip those parts,
which I find annoying; you probably will feel otherwise.
So, anyway: Casablanca it’s not, but it is a
harmless way to kill a few hours. B-/C+
Hi Myrl, So glad that you watched a feel-good movie. I hope it was relaxing. I'm thinking about you and as always sending all best wishes. Nora
