Critics Consensus

It may be shamelessly derivative and overly nostalgic, but The Sandlot is nevertheless a genuinely sweet and funny coming-of-age adventure.

Jill Rachlin Entertainment Weekly Those in the mood to return to the age of innocence might want to try The Sandlot. Rated: B- Apr 9, 2019 Full Review Duane Byrge The Hollywood Reporter A scruffy underdog yarn that will appeal not only to kids but also to their thirty- or fortysomething parents. Apr 9, 2019 Full Review Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune In The Sandlot's nostalgia for simpler times, a single-sex world seems to be a key component. Rated: 2/4 May 7, 2014 Full Review Morgan Shaunette Willamette Week The Sandlot is derivative, often simplistic and saccharine, but it can’t be denied just how well it works as a coming-of-age adventure appreciated by audiences of all stripes. Jun 23, 2025 Full Review M.V. Moorhead Phoenix Magazine It’s a charming picture, capturing the world from a kid perspective.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Alexander K Honest opinion? I think it's very cute! I mean, there's nothing else to it, TBH. I find there to be lots of screaming, and it's a little annoying, but that's it. Good movie, worth a watch, not bingeable.
