#Soft Flex
Film: Major League
Genre: Comedy, Sport
Description: A classic comedy featuring some big stars earlier in their careers (Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Rene Russo and more!), Major League and its sequel Major League II are still hilarious even to this day.
The recently widowed wife of the Cleveland Indians' owner has nothing but contempt for the team's home city and wishes to relocate to Miami. However, the only way to do so is to tank fan interest in the team over the course of a season in order to invoke the escape clause in the team's contract. To that end, she puts new officials in place to form an intentionally horrible team comprised of felons, bums, eccentrics and even a long-deceased former player.
If you're ever in the mood for an underappreciated comedy from yesteryear and you catch these films while perusing the back catalogue of your favourite streaming service, give them a watch!
