You won't be disappointed!

hyped garbage

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The acting in this movie is really good.

It's 1972, 10 years after the original movie. A new group of kids play at the Sandlot. Johnnie is the little brother of the original's Scott Smalls. He's launching a rocket when David Durango and his friends confront him. He almost burns the dugout down and only saved by Hayley Goodfarier living next to the Sandlot. Later, Hayley and her two girl friends dare to show up on the field. David faces off against her underhand pitching and they decide to join forces. When the ball goes over the wall, Johnnie recounts The Great Fear.There is a nostalgic love for the original which is always going to be trouble for any sequel. This is essentially mission impossible. The original has a timeless perfection which this one struggles with. The addition of girls is an interesting turn. It's fun to twist the "You play like a girl" insult. The sense of time and place is not quite up to snuff. The small contained coming-of-age world is lost to some degree. The kiss at the carnival is the first good moment although the tag at the plate should have been a dropped ball. As it stands, it's simply a hard play and not a dirty play. Samantha Burton is not a natural actress. It's obvious she's there for her ball skills and she's also pretty cute. The acting from the kids are uneven but they do kinda grow on me. The cat claw contraption is hilariously childlike. It's reminiscent of the original but inferior. This could be a lot worse.

I can't help but wonder if this film was intended as a joke... If it was it's own movie, completely unrelated to the original Sandlot, which was one of the greatest kids movies ever made enjoyed by children and adults alike all around the world and continues to be to this day, then this would not be an issue. But this embarrassment is actually an attempt at a sequel, and where it lacks in quality it makes up for with unsuccessful humor and cheese. If you grew up watching The Sandlot, and you love it, do not watch this, it will only upset you. They could have called this movie ANYTHING, and they pick The Sandlot 2? WHY. Anyway, here are the reason's why it is vile and why I disliked it: A) The acting is terrible. The characters are bland, robotic, unfunny, and completely uninteresting. It's extremely difficult to look past the terrible acting and poor writing to at least enjoy the story, which is our next issue... B) The story just flat out sucks. It is as if all the kids in this movie were handed a camera by a random adult and a copy of The Sandlot, and were told to make an exact copy without producing copyright infringement. I strongly believe that was the situation and this is the result. C) The story also has some fairly large loop holes. For example, 10 years later here we are at the sandlot again. With Scotty's little brother whom is in the 4th grade. Which would make him roughly 10 years old. Which means their mother would have been pregnant and in the process of having him in the summer of 1962 when the first sandlot took place. There were no indications of that in the first one, and even if he was conceived during that time, he wouldn't be in the 4th grade. Also I believe the character of Johnny Smalls was modeled after Marcie from Peanuts (Charlie Brown). I feel a lot better after letting this off my chest, so I think I'll wrap this up. Terrible movie. Director should be smacked 12 times, for that is how long the world existed as it should have stayed, without this steaming pile of turd in existence.On a different note, if you haven't seen The Sandlot, go ahead and watch this one! It's worth the laugh. Trust me, you will laugh at it. And you WILL NOT relive the magic of the original Sandlot, as stated on the cover. Another back hand to the director for that. Good day

First off, I want to say that I saw the original Sandlot when I was five or six. I'm 14 now, and I still love it. When I hear it's going to be on TV, I get my TiVo ready and watch it.I wouldn't say this was a horrible movie. Most people didn't feel like giving it a chance, but I was bored one day when it was on ABC Family, so I watched it and gave it a chance.The acting isn't extremely good and the storyline is extremely predictable, but the story was good enough to keep me interested until the end.It had some good lines and some likable characters, and it brought me back to my sixth grade days somehow. Sixth grade was a time of innocence, back when you would go to your friends' houses and say: "Can you come out and play?", which is what this movie demonstrated to me.David Durango (Max Lloyd-Jones) and Hayley Goodfairer (Samantha Burton) were the best out of the young actors in this film. The characters were believable, though the kiss at the end was definitely expected, however, it was needed to close the tension between the two of them. I wouldn't say they had extremely great chemistry, but what do you expect--it's a kid's movie.In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this movie if you are looking for the same type of magic that the first Sandlot gave us, but if you are looking to kill 97 minutes of your free time, I'd see it.

This movie, when i saw it (as i haven't seen the original) was pretty good. The story was kinda random, like having a "Bigfoot" dog but the Director did a good job of fitting everything in with the story. You could clearly tell that there was going to be a relationship between a guy and a girl, so when it happened it was no surprise. The acting was OK. You could tell that they are not the biggest actors, or even very good ones - looking at their IMDb's, they have only been in like 1,2,3 movies. The way they said some lines were not very good. The little dude was funny and he is a good actor, and should really be in movie movies. Overall this is a good family movie that is funny and entertaining, and not hard to follow.
