One summer in high school i went to the theater almost everyday for a week to watch this movie.

"The Sandlot" recaptures the magic of being a boy in the 'Burbs with nothing to do all summer but play baseball. These boys had big dreams and bigger imaginations, the latter of which is put to the test by a nightmare of a beast, a giant dog who devours baseballs and puts abrupt endings to one too many ball games.

This is so refreshing because the only real problems the boys have is figuring out how to get their Babe Ruth autographed ball back from the ball chewing monster behind their outfield fence. There are no earth-shattering personal or family problems to be seen. This is light-heated fare. The nightmarish vision of the beast turns out to mostly be a fabrication by the boys' and their tale-telling exaggerations. However, the director supplies us with images of a monster instead of just a large dog, which recreates the boys' fears for the viewers' eyes. This one ends happily for the sandlot crew, perfectly capping the adventures on their own field of dreams.

This was one of my favorite baseball themed films as a kid. It still holds up fairly well. Many of the scenes still play out just as I remember them, my toddler was enjoying the scenes of trying to retrieve the baseball from the beast.

Fun movie, lots of memorable moments and all around a good time

wont ever matter how old i am; this movie will always hold a special place.

One if not the best baseball movie of all time. It has everything action, comedy, thrilling characters, and just good development for everyone. Denis Leary is personally one of my favorites. But the amount of quotes you can take from this movie like "You're Killing me Smalls" and "You mean that’s the same guy?" an american classic and definitely up there as one of the best baseball movies ever.
