The Sandlot 2
A decade has passed in the small town where the original Sandlot gang banded together during the summer of ’62 to play baseball and battle the Beast. Now comes the sequel, a campy romp back to the dugout where nine new kids descend on the diamond only to discover that a descendant of the Beast lives in Mr. Mertle’s backyard--a monster of mythical proportions known as "The Great Fear."

The Worst Film Ever
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I watched the hell out of this movie when it first came out. For a while, it was my favorite to watch whenever I felt like watching a movie. A weird thing is that I had watched this one first before the original (I have since seen the original film as well and I enjoyed it a lot) which is probably the reason that I love it so much. A lot of other reviews say that this film pretty much copies the original, but so did 22 Jump Street (albeit 22 Jump Street had the same characters while the Sandlot 2 did not). Nevertheless, I recommend this film for anyone who enjoys coming-of-age sports films with heart and funny moments. I know my vote says eight out of ten, but to give a more accurate review of it, I would most likely give it a 7.7 or 7.8 out of ten.
There is nothing original in this movie. The key plot points are entirely recycled from the first Sandlot movie. And for that reason alone, it loses all emotional impact.I will give them credit for some good period pieces. The bikes and cars and some of the hairstyles look very 1972. But by the same token, "Hayley Goodfairer"???? I don't think parents were cursing their children with the name Hayley back in '72 yet. And Hayley Goodfairer's lips could only have been modeled after Angelina Jolie's. Weird.....It would have been nice if there had been something new and interesting in the movie. As it is, it's a total loss.Well, I take that back. On the DVD, there is a pretty good 10 minute retrospective on the Original Sandlot, with the child actors who are now young adults. THAT is worth watching.
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.
This movie, when i saw it (as i haven't seen the original) was pretty good. The story was kinda random, like having a "Bigfoot" dog but the Director did a good job of fitting everything in with the story. You could clearly tell that there was going to be a relationship between a guy and a girl, so when it happened it was no surprise. The acting was OK. You could tell that they are not the biggest actors, or even very good ones - looking at their IMDb's, they have only been in like 1,2,3 movies. The way they said some lines were not very good. The little dude was funny and he is a good actor, and should really be in movie movies. Overall this is a good family movie that is funny and entertaining, and not hard to follow.
