Review: The Sandlot is a funny baseball movie that you'll love if your a child or an adult.
It's about a kid who moves into a knew neighborhood with no friends so he must learn how to play baseball to get friends and when he does in the summer the group runs out of balls to play with at the sandlot where they play so the Scott Smalls (the knew kid) ssteal's his step fathers baseball when he's away on business not knowing it's signed by Babe Ruth and he hit's it out of the sandlot into a yard with a dog they call the beast in it and while everybody feels good for him he needs to try to get the ball back from the beast and through the whole movie him and his friends are trying to find out how to get it back before his step dad get's back.I highly reccommand this movie if you like baseball or if you just like comedy's so at least rent this or buy it.

Summary: The Sandlot... Hits a Home Run!
Review: The Sandlot is one of the better films from a slew of kid baseball movies that came out in the 1990's. It's nostalgic almost in the vain of the coming of age stance of STAND BY ME, but it is not as heavy handed. It's positive and fun. The plot revolves around a newcomer,Scotty Smalls(Tom Guiry)to a 60's California neighborhood. Scotty is trying to figure out and start a relationship with new stepdad (Denis Leary), and he is introduced to sandlot baseball from the neighborhood boys. At first glance, it looked like the film would be the neighborhood boys vs. the new kid on the block. Fortunately, it didn't go this route. When Scotty doesn't know a thing about baseball (not even the basics of throwing and catching) he is ostracized right away. However, this is quickly resolved. One of the boys, Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez (Mike Vitar) gives Scotty simple advice and confidence and within moments, he is accepted into sandlot baseball by the other boys and, playing the game of baseball. The scene is done well, showing the great universality of Baseball in which anyone, young and old, can learn to play the game. The rest of the film are various vignetts of summer fun for these coming of age pre-teens and their friendship and comraderie. All with sandlot baseball as the backdrop. Also, part of story involves a legendary junkyard dog behind the sandlot's centerfield wall, harboring all the "homerun" balls. When a certain important baseball is hit over the fence,the rest of the film shows the gang trying to get the ball away from the dog in various ways. The film is fun and nostalgic and the cast of the neighborhood/sandlot boys are all likeable. Great cameo by James Earl Jones as a blind former Negro Leaguer and unsung character actor Art LaFleur (FOREVER YOUNG, AIR AMERICA) as Babe Ruth.

Summary: Boys, Baseball, Beauty...
Review: There really is no plot, yet you don't care. There's no real subtext to the entire thing, but that doesn't matter. The actors are all kids and they play baseball...and it's SO SIMPLE.One of those little films that walked quietly into theaters in 1993 and left just as quietly with little fanfare(which is probably why Fox was hesitant on releasing a DVD) not ONLY happens to be one of the greatest SLEEPERS of all-time, it's also one of the greatest SPORTS films of all-time, ranking with "Field of Dreams", "Bull Durham", "Major League", "The Natural", and "The Longest Yard", to name a few. This movie is good, so sweetly and innocently GOOD, that you don't care if the obnoxious happens or that a main plot-point happens to be the kids retrieving a prize/signed baseball(by Babe Ruth of all players) from the jaws of a dog-beast-monster-thing. No, if there was something that James Earl Jones was right about in FIELD OF DREAMS(and he's in here too as a modern-day Boo Radley), it was that baseball brings us back to the times when we were young and apathetic to the world around us. The same applies here. This film will make you forget about your problems and redirect your focus on your youth and the times you had fun with your best friends. No matter if those times were spent on a surburban street where the foul poles were really parallel phone poles on either sides of the street or you sat on the porch watching us while drinking lemonade and listening to Ray Charles, those are the good times we remember... Take a look for yourself... The DVD has a beautiful 2:35.1 widescreen transfer(it was originally shot in 70mm Panavision) but is lacking in extras. Still, a good cheap DVD with a great film...that's all we ask for sometimes. -- Matt

Summary: The Best Movie
Review: This is a great movie. In fact, it's my favorite, even though it was made when I was an infant. I highly recommend it for people who love baseball and dogs. It is so like real life. My favorite charector was probably Benny. He's so brave.... AND he's HOT STUFF!!! *laughs*
I don't even like baseball, and I loved this movie. It's also hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing, espiecally with the fight between Phillips and "Ham".
I love this movie a lot. If you hadn't watched this movie, well, then, WATCH IT!!! You won't regret it!!!

Summary: Nostalgic, clean, all-American fun.
Review: This is a lovely movie. Humor and nostalgia combine to create a film without a sturdy plot, but with lots of heart. The beauty of this movie, however, is not in the storyline. It's in the tough-as-nails friendship of a couple of guys on a baseball field; the simplicity of a game that brings people together, no matter what their age; the memories of campfires and sleepovers in treehouses; of trying to fit in; of splashing in a pool on a steaming summer day... Who can forget the s'mores joke? The kid nicknamed Yeah-yeah? The erector set baseball-extractor? Wendy Peffercorn? Smalls' first baseball cap? One of my favorite scenes in this movie is when the boys are playing baseball under a midnight sky exploding with fireworks while "America!" is crooned on the soundtrack. That scene wraps up in a nutshell what this movie is all about--friendship, baseball, dreams, and being young in small-town America.

Summary: "You're killing me Smalls!"
Review: This is one of my all time favorites. It is the perfect lazy Sunday afternoon...laying on the couch kinda movie. You don't have to love baseball to love this movie. Somewhat remenicent of the Wonder Years TV show. All the characters are so easy to relate too and it makes you yearn for the simple times of yesteryear. The writing and humor is priceless. If you haven't already seen this movie, rent it or buy it. Its a timeless movie that never gets old. I only wish they made more movies like this one.... Dan
