LOVE THE MOVIE

Great movie good quality my wife had never seen it so we bought it and watched it

This is a great movie for family movie night, it’s a step back in time when children played outside and enjoyed a great American pass time together

This is definitely one of the movies that made an impression on my childhood and so it was fun to revisit this with my own children.What I did not recall was how much bad language and behavior was in the movie. It wasn't anything too terrible, but it was certainly not what I want my children seeing and hearing then emulating - however it wasn't serious enough to warrant stopping the movie, but others may choose to stop for this reason, so you'll want to use your own discretion.What is more serious of a problem is the inclusion of sexually charged content such as talking about playboy magazines, camera and dialogue focusing on women's butt's and bodies, and other similar content; (although I did find it funny what the boy who couldn't swim did, not all will agree).Overall, compared to a lot of the offerings today, it doesn't have the garbage found today, and has a lot of the qualities lacking in today's content, but it also brings with it certain undesirable things, or things that are targeted at the wrong audience and in the wrong context.

A childhood classic

This movie is told through the eyes of Scotty Smalls (Tom Guiry). Scotty has just moved to California with his mom (Karen Allen) and stepfather (Denis Leary). Upon moving in to their new home, Scotty's mom tells him that she wants him to make some new friends instead of staying inside all of the time. One day, Scotty comes across a group of boys plaing baseball in a sandlot. He goes over to watch, but he changes his mind. He's embarrassed because he doesn't know how to throw or catch. He asks his stepfather to help, but Scotty doesn't get any better.One of the boys at the sandlot noticed Scotty. He introduces himself as Benny (Mike Vitar) and proceeds to show Scotty the finer points of baseball. In no time at all, Scotty is catching, throwing, hitting, and has become a part of the team. These nine boys become inseparable, spending their days playing baseball, swimming, riding bikes, and doing the things most grade school age boys do on summer vacation. The boys do have one problem in their lives; the beast. The beast is a large dog that lives behind the fence which surrounds the sandlot where the boys play baseball. Every time someone hits a ball over the fence, it is automatically assumed that the ball is lost forever, because no one has ever ventured into the yard to get their ball back. Such a case arises for Scotty and his friends.One day while playing ball, someone hit the ball over the fence. Scotty volunteered to go home and get another one. He brought it back to the field and the game began again. Scotty himself ends up hitting the ball he brought over the fence, but the ball was autographed by Babe Ruth. The boys try all different kinds of ideas to get the valuable ball back, but nothing seems to work. One night, Benny has a dream about Babe Ruth and getting the ball back. Babe tells Benny that he must go into the yard to retrieve the ball. Will Benny Survive his encounter with the beast?This is an excellent movie. It takes me back to my own childhood when I would do the same thing as the boys in the movie; play baseball from early morning until late in the afternoon. I thought the story was exceptional. It was fun watching the boys learn about life along the way as well. The scene where "Squints" fakes drowning and is revived by the cute lifeguard was one of the best scenes in the movie. Benny overcoming his own uncertainties as he prepared to retrieve the Babe Ruth ball was equally as good. I'm a huge baseball fan and I've seen such classics as "Eight Men Out", "The Natural" and "Field of Dreams". "The Sandlot" ranks with these as being one of the best baseball movies I've ever seen. I highly recommend this movie. If you're a baseball fan like me or if you enjoy watching movies about friendship and growing up, then this movie is one you won't want to miss. Watch "The Sandlot" and see how a group of boys bond as friends through playing baseball.

As a pensioner, you may find it hard to believe that I could enjoy a film of this type and style.This is the story of a new boy to the neighbourhood who initially has problems settling in but is soon taken under the wing of a gifted baseball player and his pals. They play baseball for the shear joy of the game, rarely keeping score. Losing their ball in scrap yard defended by a 'monster' of a dog is only part of the story. We watch the kids going through some of the early stage sof adolescence and you might just recognise some of the problems they faced having been a child once yourself.Now, let's think about getting the sequel!

Brought back old memories, the pool girl scene is a classic and worth buying for that alone

This is a really traditional, funny family film with none of the modern special effects that children seem to demand now. My little girl aged 5 watches it over and over again and my nephew also loves it as there are a couple of `gross out' bits that children will find hysterical. At such a good price this is a natural stocking filler and highly recommended.

Fantastic film and my grandsons have watched it many times as they love it. It is a film about being the odd one out but making friends and it has a lot of moral lessons about kindness and loyalty in it too. A must have in the DVD home library!

It's a good DVD for young Children age 10 - 16
