Saul (Cole Evan Weiss) is the unofficial leader of the group, who heads up the baseball team and looks after his younger brother, Sammy (Sean Berdy), who can't hear but does play-by-play on the games using sign language. Saul has to face the indignity of letting girls play on his team, but things get even worse when one of them brings her dad's toy rocket to the field. The model accidentally sails over the fence and into the yard of Mr. Mertle (James Earl Jones), owner of the meanest dog in town, leaving the kids with a serious dilemma about getting it back. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Ellen Twadell, Common Sense Media
So-so sequel to a favorite kids' movie.
-
Walter Chaw, Film Freak Central
A caricaturist would draw stink lines emanating from this direct-to-video stillbirth.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...does feature a brisk pace and several charismatic performances...
-
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...if you've already seen The Sandlot, and that would be almost everyone, you may be disappointed that so very little of anything new has been added.
-
Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
Certainly funny, charming, and sincere enough to earn a solid B+ from the Sandlot-faithful. (And there are lots of us!)
