Why was was this garbage made? It was a pointless waste of time. It's the EXACT same film scene for scene of the first movie except they threw in three girls in the mix and it takes place in the 1970's. Even worse, it's from the same guy who directed the first movie!
The kids in the first film were likable and cool, whereas the characters are in this sequel are all annoying and unlikable.
David has no personality, Haley is annoying, fat kid is obnoxious, Johnny is a whiny wuss, Haley's two friends served no purpose and were pointless, everybody else was forgettable. Why did this movie need a deaf kid? It added nothing to the film. Oh and that Retriever kid was pointless and was only in the movie because he was the director's son. Worst kid actor ever! What was with his face? He looks mentally retarded.
The acting is atrociously bad! Where did they find these kids off the street? The kid who plays David looks disinterested and bored the entire movie. He says all his lines all monotone and dry. The kid who plays Johnny is awful. He flubs all his lines and they're horribly delivered. The fat kid just screams all his lines. The token black kid sounds like he's reading off cue cards. Ugh.... everybody was bad.
James Earl Jones clearly did this crap for a paycheck.
This movie is a shot for shot remake of the first down to the dog ending chase scene, you play ball like a girl insult scene, the kiss at the fair, the camp out storytelling about the dog, the montage of trying to get the ball back, going against the rival team in a baseball match, the voice over at the end telling what happened to all the kids, even the framed picture of all the kids in the last shot. Lazy, lazy, LAZY!
The dialogue is horrible. Take a drink every time the fat kid said crap! or somebody said "What the hell"? Their is one utter of ass and sh- t! It felt so forced and cringe. Like wow we're so cool.
One the worst movies I ever seen in my life! The original Sandlot is a childhood classic. This trash sequel should have never been made.
