Profile of The Sandlot

The mood of The Sandlot is sentimental, feel good, and sincere. The plot centers around social relations, coming of age, and buddies. It is a comedy, family, and drama movie. Stylistically, The Sandlot includes a voice over. In approach, it is realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in a small town. The Sandlot is set in Utah. It happens in the 1960s. It is especially suggested for a family outing.

Summary of The Sandlot

It's 1962, and young Scotty Smalls has just moved to town with his mom, his stepfather, and his desire to make friends in his new home. But when he heads to the local sandlot he's laughed off the field in his awkwardness until the leader of the gang, Benny Rodriguez, takes him under his wing. Soon the boys become the best of friends, and "Smalls," as he is dubbed, is introduced to a cast of funny and unique characters; their summer adventures include treehouse sleepovers, encounters with a beautiful lifeguard, and of course, baseball. But when Smalls hits his first home run it is a Pyrrhic victory, as his stepfather's ball, autographed by Babe Ruth, lands in the adjoining lot which is guarded by "The Beast," a dog rumored to have once eaten a kid. The kids have some hilarious adventures and unexpected results in their efforts to regain the ball before Smalls' stepfather finds out it's missing, making this a film the whole family will enjoy.

This movie is cool and amazing. It really captures the innocence and wonder of youth. Set in the 50s, this is the story of a group of boys who play baseball together, fear a monster, and each have their individual stories. Anyone who loves baseball... Read and rate it
