Don't go about with this 'it's a kids movie' stuff, because aren't kids supposed to enjoy a kids movie? Still a child, I thought that this movie was rather boring and if there were razzies for kids movies, this one could deserve one.

First off, the acting was bland and wooden. Instead of using talented children, they went ahead and hired a few good-looking or cute kids with no experience, or at least that's what it seems. The boy who played 'Smalls' was actually alright, but beside him the casting couldn't have been worse.

It's cheesy, too. Very cheesy. Just the things that happen, the script, just everything. And, apparently, because everyone got such a kick out of seeing a boy kiss an attractive lifeguard through pretending to drown in the sequel, the writers decided that everyone would laugh just as much this time. Not really.

The plot line takes too much from the original and changes it around, with the evil animals and such. Why not use some imagination, eh? But, you've got to give it a little credit. There were times when a smile lingered upon my face, and I find it fairly good that they included girls this time--except for the fact they made them pretty wimpy, sticking to stereotypes as boys being tough and girls being wimpy and finding even a worm disgusting. No 'tomboy' about them, which kind of irritated me. But, thanks for at least including a girl.

I give it a 4/10.

I think that it was it's own new script, but not as good as the original. I agree that "David" Max Lloyd-Jones was very good and a good looking kid. Samantha Burton was the other new face that was good in the movie. I would recommend buying it just for the collection. The whole new twist to it with a different year, girls, and the new situation is good. I definitely think that you should see it for Samantha Burton and especially Max Lloyd-Jones. James Earl Jones was a very good part to have back in the movie, because it gave it the old feel. The new Sandlot is its own new gang, but as I said not as good as the original. Some of the new actors weren't so good in their acting except for Max Lloyd-Jones, Samantha Burton, and the brother of the deaf kid.
