A rewatchable, ensemble family.
Scotty Smalls verhuist met zijn moeder en stiefvader naar een nieuwe buurt en wil daar meteen leren honkballen. De plaatselijk honkbalster Rodriguez neemt Scotty onder zijn hoede en in een mum van tijd is hij lid van het plaatselijke clubje. Het groepje beperkt zich echter niet alleen tot honkballen, er wordt namelijk ook allerhande kattenkwaad uitgehaald.
Vandaag geen speeltijden voor The Sandlot in Los Angeles.
Benny is literally a Christ-like figure
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.
The film follows a young boy who moves to a new neighborhood in the 1960s and joins a local group of friends who play baseball in a nearby vacant lot.
The film was directed by David Mickey Evans and released in 1993.
It is widely regarded as a family-friendly film that captures the spirit of childhood and friendship during the summer.
