Fun Stuff

Trivia:
In order to establish the close bond between Smalls and Benny, the director had Tom Guiry and Mike Vitar meet and rehearse together weeks before the rest of the kids showed up to film. It worked so well that the other kids genuinely believed the two actors had been friends for a long time. more
Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: The sound of a ball hitting a metal bat is sometimes used even though the kids are using wooden bats. more

One of the greatest childhood films ever, 14 June 2000
Author: Filmjack3 from United States

The Sandlot is a great childhood film because it examines changes and friendship among a group of pre-teens. It is really just good old fashioned fun (especially James Earl Jones' cameo) in the adventures of their baseball days. Denis leary makes one of his breakthrough films here. Entertainment supreme, and maybe adults will like it too. A
