Details

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."

Reviews

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
baileygiannini I'm a big fan of the first Sandlot film. It's hallariously funny and the storyline is amazing. The story of a neighborhood boy who teaches a newcomer how to play baseball. It's fantastic and everything went right. In this second installment it's a complete mess. There's no funny parts whatsoever. It's a copycat of the first film, with the exception of some girls playing baseball in this film. This comedy is outright awful and gives the first film a bad name. We went from amazingly funny for the whole family, To extremely terrible. I think this film should've never been made, in fact, the only thing that stood out was the fact that this film is so unoriginal that any filmmaker could've made this. It's predictable in every way possible and everything is the same as the first film. The third film is better than this one. The acting is off the chart terrible, the comedy jokes are lame and unfunny. David Mickey Evans, the writer and director of the film could've done a lot better. I'll need to see what other movies he's done so I can see what other garbage and unoriginal ideas he's come up with. Having said everything, don't buy this on DVD or online, watch it on cable for free if you really want to see this terrible sequel. You'll probably doze off and want to sleep once you're into the first fifteen minutes of this horrible comedy.A definate no brainer, thumbs down.1/2 star Unoriginal Terrible.
Eric Stevenson This movie was bad even by the standards of direct to video sequels. This features none of the actors from the original movie except for James Earl Jones. Please review this, Nostalgia Critic! I'm reminded of his review of "A Christmas Story 2" where he kept saying, "First movie!". That's exactly what this was. This was a pathetic attempt to recreate the magic made by arguably the best sports movie of the 1990's with a new cast. The plot is so dumb as it features a model rocket that's apparently going to change the future of space travel being activated by a kid that goes into the yard with the monstrous dog.How did we go from a baseball signed by Babe Ruth to a partly functional rocket? Oh, and it loses points because there's one scene where they try to get a cat to retrieve the rocket and the monstrous dog rips all his fur off. I felt sorry for that poor cat. Even the ending is just a ripoff of the original giving us absolutely nothing new and insulting to the original. There are a bunch of girl characters who really serve no purpose and there's a kid who was bitten but that's never brought up. We went from an urban legend about a dog that ate dozens of people to one where a dog bit a kid. *1/2
Austin Cross 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.
Jonesgrl5 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.
