The Major League franchise actually died with the second entry, but they've seen fit to make a third. Big mistake! Although, this installment is slightly better than the last, Major League 3 is short on laughs and even shorter on energy. T.V. actor Scott Bakula is hired to coach a minor league team and the hijinx begin when he makes a bet with a high school rival turned major league coach. It's all predictable stuff as he finds his minor league team playing a major league team--with big money at stake.

Returning are Corbin Bernsen, Bob Eucker, and a small group of regulars from the last two films. None of them are very inspiring. Without originality and spark, you've got two strikes against you--especially when your dealing with a comedy.
