The Sandlot: AMG Review
Anthony Reed , AMG

A summertime counterpart to the wintry A Christmas Story (1983), The Sandlot is one of those quaint coming-of-age movies that looks back on childhood follies and adventures through rose-colored glasses. Also like A Christmas Story, The Sandlot is blessed with its own peculiar group of stereotypical characters who seem to be taken from everyone's childhood, and each tall tale seems taller than the next, warped in the same cleverly childlike way. In particular, the black-and-white silent movie sequence where we are shown how The Beast got so big and mean is a home run. ~ Anthony Reed, All Movie Guide

The Sandlot: AMG Review
Michael Hastings , AMG

Those who found Stand By Me's epilogue to be an excruciatingly sentimental aberration in an otherwise-subdued coming-of-age tale would be best advised to avoid the cloying preteen fable The Sandlot. In addition to ripping off Rob Reiner's film, co-writer-director David Mickey Evans borrows liberally from A Christmas Story, American Graffiti, TV's The Wonder Years, and any number of Norman Rockwell paintings to fashion this exaggerated slice of Americana rife with "that's when I learned. . ." clichés. Though Evans has assembled a capable cast of youngsters, his over-emphatic direction and sub-Spielberg flourishes - replete with an ever-swelling, John Williams-esque score - effectively neuter any semblance of realism in the performances. Top it all off with an ersatz-sage voice-over from Arye Gross and a wish-fulfillment, flash-forward ending that makes Stand By Me's seem restrained, and it becomes clear that Sandlot is every bit the successor to Evans' first script, the syrupy, over-simplified fantasia on abused children, Radio Flyer. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide
