Wolff Movie Index

Major League; Back to the Minors(1998)

Wolff rating: FAIR

Plot summary: Scott ``Quantum Leap'' Bakula has to rescue a failing team.

Biased, pithy comments: Mr. Buzz rocked. No, really; I laughed out loud every time the yellow mascot did bascially anything. Likewise, most scenes with either Haysbert or Ishibashi (two guys from the original two movies) were worth a giggle. I even liked Daggett, and, really, Bakula is such a trooper to even shoulder such a tired role. Unfortunately, the movie isn't much but a collection of sight-gags and low-key silliness delivered without much gusto. Skip, but not without a little nostalgia for the original two movies.

Other Notes: Visual effects of baseball hits (clearly digitally generated, but it took me a while to catch on) from behind the plate are really neat.

How many times I have seen it: x1

Starring: Scott Bakula, Corbin Bernsen, Dennis Haysbert, Takaaki Ishibashi, Jensen Daggett, Eric Bruskotter.
