The Sandlot (DVD, 2002, Widescreen)

I bought this Dvd because I had the vhs, and beside that format being obsolete, the tape got ruined. I remember renting this movie with my older brother so many times that we actually probably bought the movie ten times over. Finally we purchased a copy for ourselves. This is such a great summer movie. It is very well done, the direction is great and the acting is superb; especially Thomas Guiry's performance. He is such a natural. While it is a typical stock character kid's flick, the characters are so endearing and humourous and each individual stands out with their own personality and story. Even if you did not grow up in the 60's, even if you did not play baseball as a kid, EVEN if you are not a boy, this movie speaks to you. It is centered around baseball, but really it is about friendship and typical childhood "coming of age" experiences. It isn't cheesy or overly emotional, you may feel as if you've "seen if before" because it is so relateable, but not because it is predictable and flat. I love this movie, and I am a girl, and I was born in the 80's (I did play baseball with my three brothers, however in our cul-de-sac). This movie reminds you of, at the risk of sounding trite, simpler times. It's a slice of apple pie of a movie that you will love. You'll be quoting it soon! Happy watching...

This is the best movie I have ever watched. This movie shows baseball the way it was meant to be played, with neighborhood kids at a vacant lot with random objects for bases. I personally love that kind of baseball and I wish it was still played like that. None of the kids in this movie are rich or have the most luxurious lifestyles, but all they needed was 9 friends with baseball gloves, a baseball bat, and an autographed Babe Ruth baseball to get them all in one big pickle. The Sandlot is very funny while being serious at the same time. Like I said, this is my favorite movie ever and if I could, I would give it a rating of 6. You have got to watch this movie.

I love the humor in this movie, and parts have always been an inside joke within our family and frieds. "You're killin' me SmallS!" This classic tale of a lot of boys trying to recover a signed Babe Ruth ball from Hercules, the gigantic mastiff next store. Its a coming of age tale that has me laughing and smiling the whole time. One of my all time favorites the whole family would enjoy.

This movie is a classic; I can't get enough! I loved it since I was a kid watching the Disney classic movies and no matter how old you are, you will love it. In fact, when I was hanging out with a few friends from high school, one of the people said, "You're killing me smalls" which is one of the many great quotes in this cute, fun, summer time story. If you like baseball, you'll love it, and if you don't you probably will still love it anyways.

This movie is really good when it comes to baseball. It's about a group of kids that play baseball in a sandlot. One day, when a kid from the group gets a new bat, he slams a ball signed by "Babe Ruth" over the fence while a rumor about the person living on the other side raising dogs to bite kids. They try everything to get the ball back. Suddenly, another kid from the group bravely jumps over the fence to retrieve the ball and finds out that the man is actually very kind and the man kindly trades a ball signed by all of the members of the 1917 Yankees for their ball....
