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 Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Everything comes together in The Sandlot with perfection to deliver one of the best baseball movies in cinematic history.
