Bernsen is arrested by two cops intent on escorting him to New Jer sey The cops can seem to do any thing according to plan and neither for that matter can the bank robbers Written and directed by Jim Kouf Crime features the comedy of clumsiness Helped along by a lively cast some of this nonstop bumbling is funny The Montana settings pro vide picturesque backdrops while the script plays a bit with Westerncow boy motifs Individually the jokey sit uatioos are nothing to shout about an attack of ants stepping in manure that sort of thing Its left to the s brisk pace and the enthusiasm of the actors to keep us watching After his impeccably goomed TV role Bernsen must have enjoyed the chance to dirty himself up a bit He grows more amusingly disheveled from scene to scene as one calamity after another befalls him The excons enlisted by Bernsen to pull off the heist are an engagingly scrappy four some gruff long faced Fred Gwynne hotheaded William boyish Lou Diamond Phillips and the surprising ly comical Ruben Blades The movie s not much but it has an amiably silly spirit GRADE- By DIAHANN N ADEAU Herald Sped Major League Is a delightful foray into the world of probaseball and

always hated Cleveland who wouldnt and she wants to break her contract with the city in order to shuffle the team to Florida How can she do this If atten dance falls beneath a certain level for the

interested in selling tires than moving to the majors This should do the trick she thinks And it does For a while Eventually the team pulls together and runs to number one filling the stadium with crazed fans much to the owners chagrin For the audience it is a wonderful climb That is essentially the plot There are so many enchanting bits in this movie funny lines and funny moments that its hard
