An adult does occasionally intrude upon the world of baseball, lifeguards and savage dogs described in this pleasing rite-of-passage picture. However, this enchanted summer really belongs to the kids, in particular Tom Guiry, the pre-teen who makes Charlie Brown look like Babe Ruth. Although the games on the sandlot provide the focus, this isn't just another sports movie. It's about self-discovery and learning how to deal with the scuffed knees of life. Mike Vitar shines alongside Guiry, but the entire pre-teen cast is so good you almost overlook the presence of grown-ups Denis Leary, Karen Allen and James Earl Jones.

KIDS MOVIE !!!
A bunch of kids live a neighborhood, where all kids do is play baseball. This movie stars Scott Smalls (Tom Guiry) as a nerdy kid who moves into this neighborhood and has trouble making friends. Then he meets Benny Rodriguez (Mike Vitar) who makes him one of the sandlot kids. But Smalls still has a lot to learn. He doen't even know who Babe Ruth is!!!! Well, on the one day they start to accept him, he knocks a Babe signed ball into the clutches of 'The Beast.' The Beast is this big, ugly, monster thing that is in every kids nightmare. Now the sandlot kids have to get the ball back!!! In the end, the pickle the beast ans meets the beast's owner Mr. Mertle (James Earl Jones) who ends up being a good friend. This movie is SO great, adn you haven't lived until you've watched it!

One for the kids
American as apple pie but the boys loved it (9 and 12). Predictable, but devoid of adult perspectives it has an unusual appeal.

Childhood
This was the film of my childhood and I loved it so I thought I would take another look at it. It made me feel sad because it reminded me that I've grown up now. However the film is still a nice story and with some funny moments and is worth a look.
