6What people say
Smalls is the world's lamest 11-year-old. He's unable to throw a ball more than 2 feet and somehow has never heard of one of the five most famous people of the century.
It’s impressive how The Sandlot can make all us Letterboxd nerds yearn for a time that none of us even existed in. Obviously, it’s not that we yearn for the 60s, but instead to relive those seemingly meaningless moments of whimsy. That’s what makes this movie special— it’s a time machine to those hot summer days where our friends never left our side. I wish there was a way to know you're in "the good old days", before you've actually left them.
