Against the odds, and after the inevitable initial failures, they iron out some of their faults and start to win, much to Ms Phelps' consternation. I enjoyed it better the second time I watched it, once the initial shock had worn off. Still, it probably would have been best had they not made this sequel, it is surprising they made one more after this, but I do not think that one did anything at the box office. But aside from that, it really isn't as bad as it's being made out to be. But aside from that, it really isn't as bad as it's being made out to be. The loud-mouth lout in the grandstands played by Randy Quaid was not toned-down by the director. Without becoming melo-dramatic or insisting on turning the movie into a serious baseball drama, David Ward and R.
I have to give director David Ward and writer R. But all of that aside, I still liked this film pretty well. Where the first film worked on so many levels where baseball fanatics and casual or non-fans could enjoy it, the second fails miserably. James Gammon as the team's manager was the ideal casting choice, and his short scene when Tom Berenger visited his home is one of the most memorable baseball scenes I have ever seen in a movie. Regardless, I feel Back to the Minors will conclude the series good or bad. As far as the comedy, it's a bit more slap-stick than the original.
I won't go into the ridiculousness of a catcher who can't throw a ball back to the pitcher being on a Major League roster or a right fielder who practices yoga-type exercises in the field during play. The boys are back for the next season, this time Rachel has sold the team to Roger and he is in charge. The Indians get off to another slow start, then Roger makes a big move by signing arrogant power hitting catcher Jack Parkman, who is a bully. Harry Doyle here, welcoming all you Wahoo maniacs to the year's first session of Tribe Talk. Yes, most people would know what's going to happen from the beginning. Cuban slugger Pedro Cerrano Dennis Haysbert underwent a spiritual conversion, from aggressive voodoo to placid Buddhism, and his batting has declined accordingly. The appearance of Tanaka is a nice touch and his samurai? This movie at least deserves to have a better rating than a sorry 4.
A very nice movie to unwind with. The film focuses more on Charlie Sheen as Ricky and he has some funny moments as does Randy Quaid as a disenfranchised fan. Roger then sells the team back to Rachel Phelps, because Roger needs the money. Added to the mix are Omar Epps, David Keith and Takaaki Ishibashi. Roger Dorn is back with an even larger ego. Naturally, having Rachel to kick around again gives the players the inspiration to overcome their assorted personal problems and win the World Series. This is such a fun-filled, likable, hilarious comedy that you really don't want to make comparisons.
When Jake Taylor Tom Berenger first stepped out of the taxi at the beginning of this movie, he looked so much older that it was stunning. Rachel buys the team back and the boys finally decide to get themselves together and get to the world series! If you prefer witty humor or more winding plots a la Seinfeld or developed characters, this is definitely not good for you. All things considered then, while it wasn't a great film by any means, I suppose it wasn't necessarily that bad and I have rated it accordingly. You want the film to leave off on a good note and not be inhabited by sequels of lesser quality. That said, things are apparently looking good and all of the experts predict that they will go all the way to the World Series. Ward managed to reassemble the cast, with two notable exceptions: Rene Russo and Wesley Snipes, whose respective star values had risen considerably since 1989.
It just took me a while to adjust to the changes. Exit Wesley Snipes, enter Omar Epps, who upholds the character of Willie Mays Hayes. Well that backfires as does a lot of things as Ricky the wild thang is now throwing garbage and can not get his 100 mph fastball in gear, Pedro has mellowed to a considerable degree, Jake Taylor ends up one of the managers on staff and all is not right with the world. Announcer Harry Doyle is outspoken as ever, but I think he made a bigger impact in the first movie. Also, minor league catcher Rube Baker is called up to the Indians, even though Rube has a throwing problem. The movie just meanders along, going nowhere.
The good heart of this movie was confirmed as the bird took flight again. The character of Rube Baker played by Eric Bruskotter is likeable, but borderline goofy. Many of the beloved characters return. Separated from the first, I think more people would give it a chance. The misfit athletes, however, wised up to the scheme, pulled together, and defiantly won the pennant. Rick Vaughn Charlie Sheen was a rookie in the first film, but he's obviously not a kid anymore in this one.
To9m Berenger is back as the almost washed up catcher and team leader. Having come from out of nowhere to win the Eastern Division last season, the Cleveland Indians have most of their main players back and plan to repeat their success this season. Okay, I admit this film isn't quite as good as the original. Also, Roger Dorn's character played by Corbin Bernsen has transformed from an egotistical bad-boy to a wimpy cry-baby. I have to say that for the most part this movie is a lot like the first film. Jake Taylor Berenger , the Indians catcher, still has serve knee problems and is on his last leg no pun intended.
If you have any legal issues please contact the appropriate media file owners or host sites. Roger Dorn has gone from player to owner, removing the unhealthy management and influence of Rachel Phelps. Just a couple more scenes where perhaps Nikki, perhaps the shrink, perhaps the kids. Absolute hilarity in both of these actors. For Rick Vaughan, it was to live every moment like it could be his last.
