The first "Major League" was enjoyable (even if it wasn't great or anything) whereas this cash-in sequel is basically just to suck the money out of a film that made more cash at the box office than anyone expected.
The first "Major League" came out in '87 and this one in '94; the seven-year gap surely didn't help much with profit. As far as I'm aware this didn't do nearly as well as the original in theaters and it's not hard to understand why.
Most of the original cast returns - mainly Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen though - to once again spoof baseball. It's not as wacky a comedy as, say, "Hot Shots!", but it's close.
The real problem with this film is that it's basically extending a story that doesn't need to be extended and recycling a lot of jokes we've already seen. It's worth seeing if you catch it on television, but don't go out of your way - especially if you didn't care much for the original.
