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

 Sandlot: Great Party Movie January 22, 2010
R. Moore
Sandlot is one of those movies that you can put in at a party of any mix of people and it will be a hit for pretty much anyone. A safe bet for sure.
The Sand Lot - a must! December 24, 2009
Hal Schaible
A classic movie that we needed to have on disk. If you have kids, young or old or maybe not at all, this movie will take you back to the kinder gentler days.
 Stand By Me? December 18, 2009

I can understand why this is a likable film, but did anyone draw parallels to Rob Reiner's far superior "Stand By Me" from 1986?
One of my all time favorite movies! Brings back boyhood memories. December 3, 2009

This movie is essentially me and my friends growing up in the early 70s. Just like the Bad News Bears, while baseball is center which both stories evolve around, it's about more than that. It's about growing up, innocence of youth, and summer's spent when the only concerns about the future is when school starts again. Like the main cast members, every day we waited for who would start the chain of calls to wake everyone up to play ball at the nearby grade school lot. And with some variations, we spent the time not playing ball doing the same exact things these guys do. This movie is about love of baseball, and why so many cling to it: in addition to the love of the sport, it's the memories the sport evokes for many who played it. Until current times when organized leagues are everywhere and year round training facilities abound, the main memories baseball centered around was our summer vacations, our last years of innocence with no worries or obligations that adulthood would soon bring, whether we liked it or not. Which is kind of the synopsis that "Smalls," the movies main character, makes at the movies end as an adult. How things changed as time move on, but how "that" summer will always be the best. Any 40something or older can fully relate to that sentiment. Which is why I think the viewers' age proportion is widely spread. A fabulous movie to watch w/ younger kids, as it has some great, subtle common sensities sprinkled throughout the movie.
