Storyline

In the 12-years-since comedic sequel to 1993's The Sandlot, a new group of kids have moved into the sandlot: David Durango (Max Lloyd-Jones), Mac McKing (Brett Kelly), Saul (Cole Evan Weiss), his deaf brother Sammy "Fingers" (Sean Berdy), Tarquell (Neilen Benvegnu), Scotty's younger brother Johnnie Smalls (James Willson), and a surprise for The Sandlot 2, a girl in the group Hayley Goodfarier ('Samantha Burton' ). When Johnnie mistakenly sends a model rocket over the junk fence in The Great Fear's yard, the gang must retrieve it. Even with the help of The Retriever (Griffin Reilly Evans, the director's son), a kid who steals dog tags and finds The Great Fear's a challenge. Yes, complete with another psychotic name-calling scene with Mac and little league captain Singleton (Reece Thompson). And, of course, with James Earl Jones as Mr. Mertle.

Goofs

The model of the space shuttle includes a rust colored external fuel tank. In the early flights of the space shuttle the tank was painted white. Most likely if any models existed during development of the shuttle they would have had the tank painted white.

You will only laugh at its stupidity

My jaw actually dropped when I saw this movie sitting on the shelf. I only rented it for pure curiosity. I did not check movie ratings or critics comments because I was sure they would be bad anyway. I popped the movie in and immediately wanted to pop it out. I always finish a movie so I sat through this torment. The only time I caught myself laughing was at the terrible acting and how the script may as well have been copied and pasted from the original classic except to be twisted into a trash can they call a movie. There was no creativity or thought put into it, it seemed as if they rushed through they movie only hoping to not lose money by spending more time. I urge you to NOT see this movie unless you are just simple looking to waste a bit of time and money you can never have back.
