There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

"The Sandlot" tells the story of a young boy, whose family moves to a new town, leaving him under pressure to make new friends. While he learns to play Baseball with a few of the neighborhood boys, he learns about a frightening yard, where a huge dog is watching the balls that missed their goal.What you get here is pretty much your typical family movie but it is produced with a lot of heart and warmth. Some of the events might seem exaggarated and a bit stereotypical but in the end childhood is also about exaggeration and I really enjoyed the way that the narrator tells the story. I think most of the kids will be able to find themselves in one of the boys one way or another and the movie even delivers a decent moral, even when it misses out on more radical plot twists or decisions.All in all I would recommend giving this film a try, especially when you have kids around and want to spend an evening together as a family. Not the best-known Disney movie but surely a very beautiful one.

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.

I rarely feel the urge to comment on movies but after scanning the other reviews, I have to say Im kind of embarrassed for them. This movie is cute but poorly written/directed. It had all the elements for being a wonderful and nostalgic look back at childhood but became a hallmark card schmaltz fest of corny behaviors and dialogue that barely sounded like 12 year old friends. Very few films capture this dynamic but Stand By Me was much closer to the truth of childhood (I also want to include 400 Blows, but I haven't seen that in a while).On your next rainy day, do a triple feature run and get back to me.

Corny, old-fashioned fun about an awkward new kid in town who makes friends with the local yutes who play sandlot baseball. A likable cast of kids goes a long way to making thin material work. More than a few similarities between this and better films such as A Christmas Story and Stand By Me, including the narration by writer/director David Mickey Evans. It's lightweight fluff, but that's fine. Kids should like it most.
