The Sandlot 2

Directed by David Mickey Evans1h 37m2005

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, back at the dugout, 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'.

Our read: The Sandlot 2 (2005) reads as a cosy, kinetic, grounded family · comedy · music entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
