Yes! It's not the same or as good as the first but surely it's a kids movie? My daughter loved it just as much as the first and that's what counts to me! She isn't gonna sit and pick about the acting, actors or storyline...... It is what it is! Get over it everyone who whines about it, one day, you too will have kids...... ;). I find it slightly sad that so many nostalgic adults are complaining, are you really for real? This is an enjoyable and light hearted movie to watch with your kids! They can't remember the original and if shown back to back then don't care! I'be had a great afternoon watching all 3 back to back.... Try it lol

It is the same as the first one extremely similar but they can act for gods sake!!! Its the same because it has to be but you realize the reasons have changed he goes over the fence not to save a prized possession like a Babe Ruth but he does it for the girl DUH! jeez you people are so freaking picky its a great movie and the similarities are there for a good purpose and BTW David Durango is SO hot! THis movie is and excellent example of the 70s including the woman's right liberation and the fashion. David over comes his greatest fear both fictionally and literally. The only part I did not like was the end because it was over and i was sad. WATCH THIS MOVIE BEFORE WATCHING THE SANDLOT BECAUSE IF YOU DON"T YOU MIGHT GET Disappointed!

I grew up on the first Sandlot and you know what? THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT IT ALONE! The Sandlot is a fantastic movie(one of my top favorites) and it has been by itself for 12 years and now they have to go and make one of the world's worst TV movies for its sequel. Where should I begin? 1) THE PLOT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONE! Group of kids lose something over the fence and spend their summer trying to come up with a clever plan to retrieve it because of some unknown "monster" on the other side. Also the feud between the rookie team and the league team. "You play ball like a girl!" That entire scene was exactly the same as in the original. Exactly the same...2) CHARACTERS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME! One baseball hot-shot, a fat kid, one black kid, two brothers, Smalls (Scott Smalls younger half-brother) and they did mix it up a little bit, they threw in three girls who play softball. They only decided to give these characters different names. Like in the original, the dog was called "The Beast" and in this movie the dog is called "The Great Fear." What is that? 3) NOBODY IN THIS MOVIE COULD ACT! With the exception of James Earl Jones of course, he was awesome as he always is. I'm still trying to figure out why in the world he would take this role...This movie is just plain insulting to anyone who has seen and has fallen in love with the 1993 movie "The Sandlot" because how they have basically taken every single scene and twisted it to fit the 70's. I'm afraid to even think about what "The Sandlot 3" is going to be about...I give this 1/10 stars because that is as low as the scale goes.

i cant believe they even thought about doing this. I've only seen the trailer for the movie, and yet it makes me shudder on how bad the acting is, and how horrible the entire basis of the movie has been shot down. horrible horrible HORRIBLE. throughout my life, i have grown up watching the sandlot, and i still cherish it as one of the best coming of age tales of a boy who through trust and admiration for a game he loves so much, finds meaning in his life through the baseball diamond and through his friends. although for about 5 years i had not seen the movie, i purchased the DVD once more, and man oh man it will never be out of my hands again. i laughed more than ever seeing the movie, i even noticed that the camera angles are kind of messed up from time to time, but it will never be thrown out. if it were up to me, the sandlot 2 and even this new "sandlot 3" crap that is about to come out, should be shot down and not be allowed to be printed anymore.
