Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Best movie ever!

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I personally love the first Sandlot, and didn't hate the second one. Many people complained the second one was too copy-cat, and ruined the first movie. For this reason, I think many people will decide not to watch this film, as they only expect the worst. The Sandlot 3, however, is very different from the original, and is as well-acted as the first. Tommy, a cocky pro baseball player, is sent back to re-live his childhood when he is struck by a baseball. He has the mind of his 41 year old self, but is in his own 12-year old body. He learns many lessons along the way, and changes the course of his whole life. It's a familiar story line, but it works. It was really fun to see the original actor who played Squints back in this movie! I thought all of the child actors did a good job, especially Keneau Pires (Tommy...who is very good-looking, by the way=]) And Alexander Ludwig (EJ) I think those two did especially well with their roles. Most people probably are familiar with Ludwig, but Pires was a pleasant surprise. This is a wholesome movie with some funny parts, and is entertaining the whole way through. I would definitely watch the special features. I liked the deleted scene, and the video montage with Ludwig and Pires.Overall this movie is an improvement over the second, and definitely is in league with the first one. I watched this with a group of friends (all 16 year olds) and everyone seemed to enjoy it a lot. Don't let your hatred towards the second Sandlot film stop you from seeing this one.

First off, this movie is not near complete, my guess is that someone actually bothered to steal every other page of the script.The movie contains bizarre time-travels without notice, inconsistent dialogs, misplaced details all over, the music isn't very bad at all, other then misplaced tracks, and besides the fact that the volume goes up and down between the different tracks. The cutting-room did a descent job actually, and that says a lot. Missplaced sound effects ruin the tension, though.Luke Perry does what he does best, just looking worried, and occasionally coughing up punchlines from hell.I seriously rate this movie as the worst of 2007, and i've seen a few bad ones. Do not spend money on this one, it's not so bad it's a laugh, it's worse. Ratings above 1 star, should render a blacklist at IMDb, because it's a damn lie.

Having a baseball-crazy 7-year-old who has watched the original perhaps 17 times and had the critical acumen to describe the second Sandlot movie — which had baseball as an afterthought —as "stupid," this is an improvement. It's actually about sandlot baseball, with some solid themes about teamwork, friendship and loyalty. And, while still dumb, it has enough entertainment value to be watchable. The lift from "Back to The Future," is patently obvious, but by establishing with an ultra-prima-donna major leaguer and transferring his repellent personality intact to his 12 year old de-resurrection, his character development is credible within a lot of swirling silliness, and is sometimes moving. Tolerable for adults, the DVD is one that little leaguers will devour.

Tommy Santorelli(Luke Perry)is a Major League Superstar finishing out his career with the L.A. Dodgers. His arrogance can't be matched. A power hitting outfielder that has never believed in team work...just a "me,me,me" type of guy. His team has always been second to his fame and glory. Tommy gets a second chance to turn his lifestyle around, when he is hit in the head with a pitched ball and is knocked unconscious. The slugger wakes up as a 12-year-old(Keanu Pires) on his childhood sandlot. Tommy is convinced to play for his friends team, and of course is the best thing ever to happen to them. A greedy developer, Earl Needman(Paul Jarrett), threatens to flatten the sandlot and put up condominiums. The city council can't decide to give him the go ahead. Finally Needam challenges the rag tag team to play his much-better team as they both are going to the league championship game. The sandlot's future is in the hands of the winners. A feel good movie. Also in the cast: Danny Nucci, Sarah Deakens, Chris Gauthier, Alexander Ludwig and Brandon Olds.
