 The Sandlot 2 (2005) - A Review by David Nusair
Though it's predecessor featured a heavy emphasis on baseball, The Sandlot 2 takes the unusual step of abandoning that aspect of a seemingly ongoing series and instead focuses on the exploits of a group of kids during one particularly eventful summer.
It's been said that The Sandlot 2 is essentially a rehash of the original, and while the two films do share a number of plot elements, there are enough differences between them to justify the existence of this one.
Instead of revolving around these kids and their baseball-related shenanigans, the film's entire second half is devoted to their attempts to somehow avoid the champing jaws of "The Great Fear" (a mean dog that just happens to guard the yard where said spaceship has landed).
