Description
It's the early 1960s and fifth-grader Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry) has just moved into town with his folks (Karen Allen and Denis Leary). Kids call him a dork—he can't even throw a baseball! But that changes when the leader of the neighborhood gang recruits him to play on the nearby sandlot field. It's the beginning of a magical summer of baseball, wild adventures, first kisses, and fearsome confrontations with the dreaded Beast and its owner (James Earl Jones) who live behind the left field fence. Soon nine boys have become best friends, Scotty is part of a team, and their leader has become a local legend in this hilarious and warmhearted comedy.

When egghead Scotty Smalls moves to town just before the summer vacation of 1962, his first priority is to make friends. He heads to the nearby sandlot only to humiliate himself before the local kids, but star player Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez befriends the awkward boy, teaches him the basics of baseball, and welcomes him to the team. It's a summer filled with camaraderie and fun until Smalls hits his first home run. Problem is, Smalls's home run sends his stepfather's "Babe Ruth" autographed baseball into a neighboring yard that's patrolled by a snarling, slobbering monster called "The Beast." Creativity reigns and hilarity ensues when the boys risk everything to retrieve the ball. A final heroic encounter with "The Beast" and his owner yields some very surprising results. Action, humor, and friendship permeate this 101-minute film appropriate for ages 5 and older. Rated PG due to name-calling and some pubescent behavior. --Tami Horiuchi

not for children

There is a lot of cussing in this film.
If you want your children to start using the "F" word, and chewing tobacco, then this movie is for you. The primary messages in this movie seem to be that chewing tobacco is cool, and that it is perfectly normal for children to be using the "F" word.
The only thing that this movie gets right is the part about Babe Ruth appearing in dreams to help people solve their problems.

Another Childhood Favorite!!!

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved this movie. It has a great storyline, and can relate to kids, and adults alike. A new kid in town named Scotty Smalls tries to make friends with the kids that play baseball at the sandlot. Benny Rodriguez gives Smalls a chance, but the rest are reluctant to having him join their crew. After he finally earns their respect, he accidentally hits a baseball signed by Babe Ruth into the yard of 'The Beast' Smalls and the gang try many different crazy plans in order to recover the ball. If you love baseball, and stories about friendship, I highly recommend THE SANDLOT!!!

Terrifically Funny nice movie

This gang of guys is a lot of fun. They are different: round, tall, short, muscular, skinny, be-spectacled, rambunctious, imaginative, cool-somehow they all fit together and play ball one hot, lazy summer. Just one problem-The Beast who lives behinsd the Sandlot that is their baseball diamond.
This is a very nice story of a clumsy, friendless, ill at ease kid who moves to a new town and the happiness and fun he finds at The Sandlot. Great movie for all who like to laugh! (Very clean, too-good for all ages, but not dumb or sappy)
