The Sandlot 2 (2005)
A decade has passed in the small town where the original Sandlot gang banded together during the summer of ’62 to play baseball and battle the Beast. Now comes the sequel, a campy romp back to the dugout where nine new kids descend on the diamond only to discover that a descendant of the Beast lives in Mr. Mertle’s backyard--a monster of mythical proportions known as "The Great Fear."

Why was was this garbage made? It was a pointless waste of time. It's the EXACT same film scene for scene of the first movie except they threw in three girls in the mix and it takes place in the 1970's. Even worse, it's from the same guy who directed the first movie!The kids in the first film were likable and cool, whereas the characters are in this sequel are all annoying and unlikable.David has no personality, Haley is annoying, fat kid is obnoxious, Johnny is a whiny wuss, Haley's two friends served no purpose and were pointless, everybody else was forgettable. Why did this movie need a deaf kid? It added nothing to the film. Oh and that Retriever kid was pointless and was only in the movie because he was the director's son. Worst kid actor ever! What was with his face? He looks mentally retarded.The acting is atrociously bad! Where did they find these kids off the street? The kid who plays David looks disinterested and bored the entire movie. He says all his lines all monotone and dry. The kid who plays Johnny is awful. He flubs all his lines and they're horribly delivered. The fat kid just screams all his lines. The token black kid sounds like he's reading off cue cards. Ugh.... everybody was bad. James Earl Jones clearly did this crap for a paycheck.This movie is a shot for shot remake of the first down to the dog ending chase scene, you play ball like a girl insult scene, the kiss at the fair, the camp out storytelling about the dog, the montage of trying to get the ball back, going against the rival team in a baseball match, the voice over at the end telling what happened to all the kids, even the framed picture of all the kids in the last shot. Lazy, lazy, LAZY!The dialogue is horrible. Take a drink every time the fat kid said crap! or somebody said "What the hell"? Their is one utter of ass and sh- t! It felt so forced and cringe. Like wow we're so cool.One the worst movies I ever seen in my life! The original Sandlot is a childhood classic. This trash sequel should have never been made.
It is the same as the first one extremely similar but they can act for gods sake!!! Its the same because it has to be but you realize the reasons have changed he goes over the fence not to save a prized possession like a Babe Ruth but he does it for the girl DUH! jeez you people are so freaking picky its a great movie and the similarities are there for a good purpose and BTW David Durango is SO hot! THis movie is and excellent example of the 70s including the woman's right liberation and the fashion. David over comes his greatest fear both fictionally and literally. The only part I did not like was the end because it was over and i was sad. WATCH THIS MOVIE BEFORE WATCHING THE SANDLOT BECAUSE IF YOU DON"T YOU MIGHT GET Disappointed!
There is nothing original in this movie. The key plot points are entirely recycled from the first Sandlot movie. And for that reason alone, it loses all emotional impact.I will give them credit for some good period pieces. The bikes and cars and some of the hairstyles look very 1972. But by the same token, "Hayley Goodfairer"???? I don't think parents were cursing their children with the name Hayley back in '72 yet. And Hayley Goodfairer's lips could only have been modeled after Angelina Jolie's. Weird.....It would have been nice if there had been something new and interesting in the movie. As it is, it's a total loss.Well, I take that back. On the DVD, there is a pretty good 10 minute retrospective on the Original Sandlot, with the child actors who are now young adults. THAT is worth watching.
This movie, when i saw it (as i haven't seen the original) was pretty good. The story was kinda random, like having a "Bigfoot" dog but the Director did a good job of fitting everything in with the story. You could clearly tell that there was going to be a relationship between a guy and a girl, so when it happened it was no surprise. The acting was OK. You could tell that they are not the biggest actors, or even very good ones - looking at their IMDb's, they have only been in like 1,2,3 movies. The way they said some lines were not very good. The little dude was funny and he is a good actor, and should really be in movie movies. Overall this is a good family movie that is funny and entertaining, and not hard to follow.
