Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Dotbankey A lot of fun.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

blumdeluxe "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.

ChrisDillon1738 The first time I saw The Sandlot was when I was 11 and I was playing little league baseball. It was so inspiring because I remember watching this film the night before a big game and I saw Benny " The Jet" Rodriguez hit the ball so hard and the skin came off. That was inspirational to me because I hit the baseball at the most critical part of the game and I got a home run to win the game. This movie is the pure example of friendship, young love and bravery which was a huge impact on my life and back then it was a simpler time where the only thing that mattered was baseball and playing on a team with your friends living your life to the fullest.

sol- Passionate about baseball, a middle aged man fondly recalls the summer when he first learned how to play, the friends he made and the mischief they got up to in this popular comedy. While there are some funny moments to be had and the kids interact with one another credibly, the first half of 'The Sandlot' is difficult to get through at times with lots of excessively sentimental voice over narration and several silly shenanigans. The second half of the film is a blast though as a lost ball over a fence brings out the kids' creative sides. The inventions they come up with to retrieve the ball (without disturbing the dog in the yard) are delightfully wacky and inventive, especially a souped-up vacuum cleaner. The second half also features a chase sequence done with unexpected originality (if still the odd heavily telegraphed gag). Suffice it to say, footage from 'The Wolf Man' has rarely been appropriated so well. It has been said that 'The Sandlot' is the type of film that will only appeal to baseball lovers and those who like reminiscing about their youth. It is true that those from these demographics will likely get more from the film, but the project is still probably worth a look for others. The annoying voice-over does disappear for certain stretches and uneven as the first 45 minutes may well be, everything picks up once the kids get to show off their ingenuity.

tykyle The Sandlot is an all-time classic. Kids and fans of baseball all over the country watched this movie for years. From the very beginning of the movie to the end, people have always had a good laugh each and every time they watch it. I would recommend this movie to anybody who hasn't seen it yet.Baseball fans and kids have always loved to watch this movie ever since it came out. But this movie isn't just meant for kids or baseball fans, it is a great movie for everybody because of the messages it was sending us to stand up to our fear. The kids in the movie all stood up to their fear "The Beast" in order to retrieve their lost autographed baseball from over the fence. They used teamwork and perseverance to get an opportunity to get the ball, only to come up short of getting the ball. All good movies have some good humor in them, and this movie blends it well with the story. With famous quotes like "You're killing me Smalls." With this quote, this movie is also unforgettable. It's a classic warmhearted movie, that you do not even need to be a fan of baseball to enjoy this movie. It has some funny parts in it but it's mostly about kids bonding in the summer.Teamwork was used by the boys in order to get the lost autographed ball, and to avoid getting attacked by "The Beast". When they lost their final baseball over the fence, they got together and started building contraptions. They stayed on one side of the fence to be safe. The Beast was in sight of the ball and they slowly tried to get the ball back. All the boys worked together as a team in order to accomplish their goal.The Sandlot is a great movie for people of all ages. This movie showed great perseverance and that teamwork will help you accomplish a goal. I would definitely recommend this movie to everybody that has, or even hasn't seen it.
