    Classic kids movie. I saw this again just the other day and still found it entertaining and a joy. The 60's music, the fantasy of the beast, the humor, the theme of an egghead kid trying to fit in with a group of misfit boys who live baseball all combine to create a great movie!

    The Sandlot is an effective tween comedy about a group of kids who play baseball in a sandlot during the summer of 1962 and the misadventures they encounter along the way. It's a nice little romp that wan't made for awards or deep seeded thought- it's just there to entertain the ...( read more)entire family.

    And, of course, I played in a sandlot 8 hours a day, all summer long just like the guys in this film, so it's kind of like a walk down memory lane (except I was in the '80's).

    One of the greatest movies ever. I've seen this so many times, and I never get tired of it.

    I remember watching this movie when I was four and the next day playing chase with the girls in kindergarten with me, pretending to be rounding the bases in the Sandlot. Fuck me, time flies.

    One of the best movies of the 90's in my opinion, one of those childhood films that was directed towards teenagers but ends up getting better over time. Great lines, scenes, acting by the sandlot crew. One of my all time favorites.
