Sandlot 2 was bad enough.

Two sounded horrible, but the synopsis for this one actually sounds decent.

$, duh.

Because kids like them, they are some of my son's favorite movies...

The original was pretty good. I enjoyed it more when it just showed their daily lives during the summer. Didn't enjoy the last half as the first, when they started focusing on retrieving the ball.

I watch the original every time it comes on TV but the #2 was absolutely terrible

Forr Evv-vverrrr!!

I didn't even know there was a Sandlot 2. :lol:

The first is has actually held up really well over time. I didn't even know they made a second one.

I swear I posted in a thread about the sequel, but I don't see my post in either one of the above links.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the original Sandlot. I had no idea what it was about when I went to the theatre, and it was great.

When I heard they were making part 2, I was skeptical... it's an ok movie, but really the only things that link it to part 1 other than one of the kids in 2 is supposed to be Scotty Smalls' little brother, is both movies involve baseball, a big dog, and star James Earl Jones.

I'll eventually catch #3, but I won't pay $20 for it. I'll wait until it drops a few bucks.

Did you actually watch it? It's not like the first one is "Citizen Kane" and the second really isn't much worse.

How did it "sound" horrible? The plot of "The Sandlot 2" is literally identical to the plot of the previous film, thus is "The Sandlot 2" sounds horrible so does it's predecessor.

I finally picked this up last week and watched it Wednesday night.

It wasn't that bad actually.

Luke Perry's character is a jerk, but oh well.

the original actor to play Squints returns, and the character of Benny returns (but played buy a different actor)...

I got it real cheap on Amazon, it's worth checking out.

The original's a classic, IMO. I wish they'd stop with shit like this...yes I know, it's all about $$$, but still, WTF?!
