Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

suspiria77 So many writers and filmmakers have attempted to get the feel of a childhood summer right to varying degrees of success, but not have felt quite as authentic as this one. The pace of the film feels like those languid long days where you go from playing baseball to the swimming pool to making s'mores in a tree house, where time seems to stand still and school is so far off it's barely in your mind.This movie nails it and does so sweetly and with great nostalgia. The kids are all spot on in their acting, something that must have been difficult to wrangle, and it still manages to make me laugh all these years later. I loved sharing it with my kids and they love it as much as I do.

kiddcarl-cornell My family and I have watched "The Sandlot" many times over the past 15 years and we still enjoy every moment of it immensely. As devout sports fans and period piece buffs, it's not only one of our favorite sports movies, but also a great period piece that we admire. To this very day, we still quote lines from the film on occasion. If you love baseball, period pieces, or both, I definitely recommend "The Sandlot"!!

Jonathan C The Sandlot is a clever movie about a boy, Scottie, who moves to a new neighborhood and meets a bunch of new friends on a baseball sandlot. He is really bad at baseball, but Benny, the neighborhood baseball god, takes him under his wing and incorporates him into the group. The team has a bunch of misadventures at a swimming pool and city park, and then things get dicey when Scottie accidentally hits his stepfather's ball, signed by Babe Ruth, into a yard with "the beast" a really large dog. There is a bunch of hilarious slapstick as they try to get the ball back.The Sandlot is interesting because it seems to reside in a bunch of genres at once. On the one hand, it is a baseball movie for sure, although something of a satire of movies like Bull Durham and Field of Dreams. You almost get the sense that they have translated the minor league antics of Bull Durham into a kids' movie and the result is really funny. A scene involving chewing tobacco and a park ride is especially effective.On the other hand, The Sandlot is also plainly a kids movie, in the sense that it is a real attempt to see the world from a kid's point of view. In that sense, it owes its conception to movies like To Kill a Mockingbird, which try to see the world through a child's eye so as to illuminate it to grownups.Also, the movie is clearly a nostalgia movie, attempting to recreate in some measure the world of the early 1960s. It is a loving and effective tribute, taking us back to a suburban world of that era which contained a real capacity for joy.Finally, the movie is a physical comedy, and a good one. There are bunch of really funny slapstick scenes in this, mostly inspired by the fantasy aspect of the movie. The world is something of a Calvin and Hobbes sort of world of imagination, and in that world there are plenty of opportunities to laugh at what might be imagined.Thus, the Sandlot is a multi-faceted winner, a movie that appears shallow on the surface but actually works on a bunch of levels. Perhaps most importantly, it is hilarious and fun, and this is perhaps the best reason to see the movie.

John Doe When people ask me of a really bad movie that has terrible dialog and acting, I think of The Sandlot.I remember watching this in school and i just did not like it. At all. The acting is very unprofessional and the music makes my ears bleed. The script is really poorly written with tons of cheesiness to the lines. Yes I know the film has a PG rating but that's still no excuse for the bad script. Why oh why did the creators have to make TWO more sequels to this turd of a film? They had The Sandlot playing at my video store and hearing it on the television screen made me hate it even more. Ugh.The fact that James Earl Jones aka the voice of Darth Vader from Star Wars is in this makes it even worse! Run away from this film please! I give The Sandlot a 1/10
