Product Description:
Scotty Smalls moves to a new neighborhood with his mom and stepdad, and wants to learn to play baseball. The neighborhood baseball guru Rodriquez takes Smalls under his wing, and soon he's part of the local baseball buddies. They fall into adventures involving baseball, treehouse sleep-ins, the desirous lifeguard at the local pool, the snooty rival ball team, and the travelling fair. (more listed below)

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." Director/writer David Evans cleverly ties his two films together by introducing Johnnie Smalls, kid brother of Scotty Smalls ("You're killin' me, Smalls") who is well-versed in the legendary struggle for possession of the Babe Ruth baseball. Smalls befriends the sandlot gang (which now includes three girls) and its leader, David Vincent Durango, and relates the rumor of "a mutated, insane Bigfoot dog thing" behind the left field fence. Summer unfolds with baseball rivalries, rocket launchers, and the infamous Carnival kissing booth, but fate will forever change the history of the sandlot when a crisis forces Smalls and Durango to join forces against The Fear. Regardless of one's sentiments on sequels, Evans' writing in this remake is nearly as fresh and full of memorable quips as the original, including his characteristically understated narration. And while the film may be faulted for its forced melodrama and unseasoned cast, James Earl Jones lends his star appeal and the 70s soundtrack will make you wish for the days when fireworks were legal. Rated PG for profanity and raunchy humor. (Ages 6 to 14) --Lynn Gibson

I don't know why this movie is getting such low ratings. I thought it was an amazing sequel. I really liked the romance in this movie. I thought it perfectly showed how love is at that age. Plus I love the addition of strong women in the movie; it made the movie more enjoyable for girls to watch. People who watch this should enjoy the tribute to the first movie and the original story too. This movie is still about how the sport baseball brings everyone together and how it creates fantastic memories of childhood.

Clearly trying to capitalizes on the success of the 1st Sandlot, it seems as though the producers/writers of this effort scrapped together a script over a long weekend. I am speechless that there are positive reviews of this film, with the only possible explanation being that you have somehow been led through this series backwards, seeing the second one first. This is simply a money grab by the Hollywood brass behind this debacle-the plot just mirrors that of the first. I am determined to simply forget that this film exists, as it's not worthy of the name of the franchise. That being said, the Sandlot III, with Sideshow Luke Perry, kills Sandlot II. It's exponentially better than II, and probably should have been the only sequal. Don't waste you time with II...

NO!!!! This is a disgrace! It's an abomination to the original. Some movies should not have sequals. The Sandlot is one of them. It's the same exact story, except without the magic. I don't know if I should laugh or cry. I cried. I was horrified when i heard about this movie, but thats nothing compared to the shame i felt as i watched this movie. this is punishment to all 90's kids like me. Young or old, don't see this movie....

There are quite a lot of negative reviews here about the Sandlot 2. Honestly, i don't think it's as bad as many claim. It's not a GREAT movie, but it's not bad. The problem is that it's supposed to be a sequel, yet it retreads every single theme from the first movie. If this were the only Sandlot film made, it would probably be considered much better.
Unfortunately, they try to play it as a sequel. The story continually drops little reminders along the way that this is a new story (such as the addition of girls to the grou and a romance), but every theme and story arc from the first film is repeated, some with almost verbatim dialogue.
Here are a few among the many, many retreads:
1. The dorky kid (also named Smalls) who doesn't play baseball, but is eventually accepted by the initially exclusive neighborhood kids.
2. Smalls sends something sailing over the wall into the dog lot, where it must be retrieved from the mean dog's clutches.
3. Devising silly schemes to retrieve said item.
4. Knocking down said wall in a big hellabaloo.
5. Nearly every character copied almost verbatim, only with new names and actors. (i.e., the fat kid, the two brothers, the black kid, the cool leader, the dorky non-athlete, etc)
6. Big chase scene with dog and the neighborhood "cool kid."
I could go on and on and on with the direct rips from the first film. But because there IS so much from the first film here, it makes it somewhat enjoyable. No, it doesn't quite have the magic of the original, but it's still enjoyable...so long as you accept it as a REMAKE, and not a SEQUEL. If you are thinking sequel, you will probably hate it.

This is not a sequel to Sandlot.. It's a HORRIBLE remake.. the scenes are almost exactly the same but cheesier.. blech.. I can't believe they tried to murder the original. Shame on whoever made this.
