As a true fan of the ORIGINAL Sandlot movie I can honestly say this movie eats sh*t. Not only did they ruin the original with a sequel, but now a trilogy? Are they high out of their minds? It was a NO SEQUEL kind of movie! But apparently Hollywood just doesn't understand, BIG FRIGGEN SURPRISE! I wish there was a 0 rating I could give this, just to express my hate for it. But a 1 will do almost as good. Maybe they'll finally get the point and leave good movies alone. Especially movies from the 80's and 90's.This movie is pretty much proof that movies are dying, well sequels and trilogies at least. Do yourself a favor, leave it alone.

Some parts were sad when he said to his mom, that he will be back after the game to see her. That was sad. How will you like it, if your mom was sick? They are all good actors. You can really see how they grew up. Squints, he still rubs his glasses on his shirt. He pushes them up on his face. But, it was like weird when no one believed him that he was from the past. No one knew what Home Depot was. On his bike, riding on the sidewalk, he passed a record player shop. The record players and A-Tracks were new that time. They just came out. I really enjoyed this movie. I hope the continue and make a 4th. They should make it, so that everyone is on their like late teens. Maybe near 18 years old. And then they should come out with an 5th. Make their ages be around or in the late 20's. And then finally, 6th. Their old , and super famous. I really enjoyed this movie, that's all I got to say.

The Sandlot 3 Heading Home is a great follow up to the original 1993 Sandlot Feature. Many fans of that first movie seem to be in a snit over the idea anyone would trifle with its memory and a few are down right livid over the phrase "time travel" in the synopsis. So, having seen Sandlot 3, let me put your minds at ease. Are there holes in the time travel plot line big enough to hit fly balls through? You betcha! Just like all the time travel holes in science fiction movies big enough to fly starships through. Honestly; it in no way detracts from enjoying the story. Two of the original Sandlot ball players return for this story, set in 1976, as men. One of them is played by the original actor. Their interaction with each other and the new group of kids on the team helps to recall a bit of the summer of '62. The main character of Sandlot 3 has been transported back to 1976 when he is accidentally hit with a pitch at batting practice. The adjustment from his adult life back to his childhood life is accomplished with a minimum of annoyance and the story progresses smoothly. All the kid actors do a terrific job. Watch for Cole Heppell as the catcher, DP. The Writers and Director tell a story about second chances, trust, friendship and fun. That they chose to set it in the field behind Old Man Mertle's house makes it familiar and pleasant as well. The production values are on a par with theatrical releases of this type. The rear of Mr. Mertle's house is recreated perfectly. Sandlot 3 Heading Home does what it sets out to do, give the viewer an enjoyable experience, and it doesn't pretend to be anything else.

Tommy Santorelli(Luke Perry)is a Major League Superstar finishing out his career with the L.A. Dodgers. His arrogance can't be matched. A power hitting outfielder that has never believed in team work...just a "me,me,me" type of guy. His team has always been second to his fame and glory. Tommy gets a second chance to turn his lifestyle around, when he is hit in the head with a pitched ball and is knocked unconscious. The slugger wakes up as a 12-year-old(Keanu Pires) on his childhood sandlot. Tommy is convinced to play for his friends team, and of course is the best thing ever to happen to them. A greedy developer, Earl Needman(Paul Jarrett), threatens to flatten the sandlot and put up condominiums. The city council can't decide to give him the go ahead. Finally Needam challenges the rag tag team to play his much-better team as they both are going to the league championship game. The sandlot's future is in the hands of the winners. A feel good movie. Also in the cast: Danny Nucci, Sarah Deakens, Chris Gauthier, Alexander Ludwig and Brandon Olds.
