The Sandlot 2 (2005 Video)
7/10
Not Great. Not Horrible

Warning: Spoilers
OK, Let me tell everyone now that I am one of the biggest Sandlot fans EVER! I watched the original when I was 3 and I am now 15 and it is STILL my favorite movie so I was very nervous when I rented this movie...I didn't have great expectations but I also didn't think that is was going to be horrible. I was right - It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great.

If you have seen The Sandlot then you most likely will be able to predict some of the things the characters will say and do (I could) If you have not then I think it is safe to say that you might enjoy this movie.

Like I said before, some of the scenes were predictable because they basically came right from the original Sandlot. For example, the name calling between two rival teams and saying "You play ball like a girl." Also, the way Davey retrieved the rocket was basically the same way that Benny retrieved the baseball.

To sum it up (and I know that this has been mentioned before) The Sandlot 2 was basically a remake of The Sandlot except for a rocket instead of a baseball and different characters (It is set 10 years later and Scotty Smalls's little brother, Johnnie, is the 'main character' and narrator AND there are girls)

There is also a bit of romance but not much so don't get worried. There is also not a whole lot of baseball playing like the original, but thats not really a big deal. Also the acting wasn't too good but it is still a pretty decent movie. I'd say give it a try and see for yourselves...it won't hurt.
