David Durango 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

liggles Yes! It's not the same or as good as the first but surely it's a kids movie? My daughter loved it just as much as the first and that's what counts to me! She isn't gonna sit and pick about the acting, actors or storyline...... It is what it is! Get over it everyone who whines about it, one day, you too will have kids...... ;). I find it slightly sad that so many nostalgic adults are complaining, are you really for real? This is an enjoyable and light hearted movie to watch with your kids! They can't remember the original and if shown back to back then don't care! I'be had a great afternoon watching all 3 back to back.... Try it lol

Bencoughran My jaw actually dropped when I saw this movie sitting on the shelf. I only rented it for pure curiosity. I did not check movie ratings or critics comments because I was sure they would be bad anyway. I popped the movie in and immediately wanted to pop it out. I always finish a movie so I sat through this torment. The only time I caught myself laughing was at the terrible acting and how the script may as well have been copied and pasted from the original classic except to be twisted into a trash can they call a movie. There was no creativity or thought put into it, it seemed as if they rushed through they movie only hoping to not lose money by spending more time. I urge you to NOT see this movie unless you are just simple looking to waste a bit of time and money you can never have back.

happangl7 I usually don't like sequels to any movies but this one was rather entertaining. This story takes place 10 years after the first sandlot, and has some references to the original movie. The characters actually don't give a bad performance, but rather a funny one. Unlike the first movie, a baseball isn't the thing lost in the dog's yard but rather a protocol of a NASA rocket. There is also a cute little love story mixed in with the script, which leads to the boys and girls getting along. At first the boys refuse to share the sandlot with the girls, but after a while they decide to join and become one team. It involves the 2 main characters falling in love. but neither of them having the guts to tell each other. David, the main character eventually faces his fears to help the girl he loves. It is a hilarious romantic comedy that will appeal to the whole family.
