Entertainment Reviews:
The Sandlot almost does for baseball what A Christmas Story does for the holiday season. Evans clearly can still feel what it was like to be a kid, and his silly impetuousness gives his film its charm.

Hartford Courant
Though all but the two lead children are mediocre, the adult actors, including Karen Allen and James Earl Jones, are first- rate.

Independent on Sunday
The Sandlot is scene after scene after scene of nostalgia-glasses-viewed perfection.

Film School Rejects
There's a snappy change-of-pace gag involving a little guy and a nubile lifeguard, but the screams and barks and fraudulent emotions grow wearying.

...[The] kids are a delight, with unforced wit and natural charm...

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Here's another '90s movie that was beloved by boys ... yet it probably won't hold the same charge for viewers not privy to that nostalgic vibe.

Rating: 3/4 --
A solid double rather than a grand slam, The Sandlot remains a refreshing antidote to the daily round of contract squabbles on the sports page.

Product Description:
It's 1962, and young Scotty Smalls has just moved to town with his mom, his stepfather, and his desire to make friends in his new home. But when he heads to the local sandlot he's laughed off the field in his awkwardness until the leader of the gang, Benny Rodriguez, takes him under his wing. Soon the boys become the best of friends, and "Smalls," as he is dubbed, is introduced to a cast of funny and unique characters; their summer adventures include treehouse sleepovers, encounters with a beautiful lifeguard, and of course, baseball. But when Smalls hits his first home run it is a Pyrrhic victory, as his stepfather's ball, autographed by Babe Ruth, lands in the adjoining lot which is guarded by "The Beast," a dog rumored to have once eaten a kid. The kids have some hilarious adventures and unexpected results in their efforts to regain the ball before Smalls' stepfather finds out it's missing, making this a film the whole family will enjoy.
