Quotes:
Narrator:
Michael Squints Palledorous walked a little taller that day. And we had to tip our hats to him. He was lucky she hadn't beat the CRAP out of him. We wouldn't have blamed her. What he'd done was sneaky, rotten, and low... and cool. Not another one among us would have ever in a million years even for a million dollars have the guts to put the moves on the lifeguard...

Though nothing particularly grand or truly memorable in comparison to other films seen in the genre, "The Sandlot" is still an enormously enjoyable and genuinely funny little kid's film from 1993 which concerns the shenanigans caused, and the misadventures experienced by a group of baseball-playing and wise-cracking adolescent friends in the suburban pre-Vietnam days of the early 1960's. James Earl Jones turns in a nice little cameo appearance here as a blind and surprisingly jovial septuagenarian who is befriended by the kids once they learn that he's not the mean and creepy old man with the big scary dog unlike what they had been initially lead to believe he was through local urban legends which we all have heard at one time or another in our lives. Even though it's painfully obvious that the flick's initial demographic was aimed at young pre-teen males, it still has an entertaining enough of a story as well as a fun-loving and laid-back sort-of nostalgic charm about it that's hard not to enjoy regardless of whether you're 40 years old or 10 years old!
