The Sandlot 2

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.

This stupid movie was the worst movie I have ever seen! You cannot copy the Sandlot. This movie was a disgrace to the Sandlot. You cannot take this brilliant movie and make a copycat version of it. The writer needs to get fired for copying such a great movie and the director for supporting these unprofessional disgusting so called actors. I am begging you not to watch it. Watch the original Sandlot where real talent is found. I was so mad when I saw it. It is the exact replica of the original with a different item needed to rescue. The story line is identical and is preformed horribly. I do not know where these actors were hired but they should never work again.

This is a worthwhile sequel to THE SANDLOT(1993). A new group of kids, gravitating around David Durango(Max Lloyd-Jones), learn to share and make the best of the sandlot. This time a few girls prove to be worthy of playing with the boys...especially Hayley(Samantha Burton), who also has her mind set on David. This time around it is not a baseball that needs to be retrieved from Mr. Mertle's(James Earl Jones)backyard. A prototype model of a NASA space shuttle needs rescuing. And Goliath, the junkyard dog, still has his reputation. The summer will be remembered by this group of kids for its many changes. Sentimental and charming; scattered with 'potty mouth' language and a little romance. Lloyd-Jones and Burton show some real talent. Others in the cast: James Willson, Cole Evan Weiss, Brett Kelly and Sean Berdy. This is family fare and is narrated by director David M. Evans.

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.

It seems that 80% of the script of _The Sandlot 2_ is exactly the same as for _The Sandlot_. Characters, relationships, jokes, and sight gags are all common between the two. This movie is just a waste of time and media. If you liked _The Sandlot_ and are thinking about watching _The Sandlot 2_, do yourself a favor and just rent _The Sandlot_ again.

ABC Family was playing "The Sandlot", so I haven't seen it in awhile and I watched it. Still a great movie, but during a break they said that "The Sandlot 2" was coming on, well, I wanted to see what would happen if I'd watched it. Wow bad things happen, the movie is just the same as the first, except with girls and switch the baseball of the first with a Space Shuttle. I mean WTF?? The kids are stupid and un-funny, there are some "special effects" I guess to bring out the movie, but it dosen't work at all, there's also a strange romance thing that I guess is suppose to me like "Squint" and Penny. And also there is no baseball, 90% if the movie. So if you watched "The Sandlot" and liked it, stay away from this one by all means.
