The Sandlot | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

That's what The Sandlot repeatedly does: Confound your expectations. It's a charming and hilarious flick for kids (boys in particular will eat it up) that feels remarkably fresh, even during its occasional foray into cliché land.

The Sandlot is a classic because so much of the film focuses on time spent off the field. It's not a movie about baseball players, it's a movie about kids who happen to play baseball.

Utilizes effective editing, appropriately juvenile dialogue, and laugh-out-loud humor while capturing adolescent adventure with a genuine sense of innocence and nostalgia.

The Sandlot isn't just a baseball movie, it's a bright, uncynical look back at the joys of childhood.

After a "Porky's"-style segment dealing with puppy lust, the film then segues to its better second half.
