Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 8–9

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Some social issues addressed, diversity celebrated and positive examples of teamwork.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Rough and tumble, a brief fistfight.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Some boy/girl romance, an aggressive and unwanted kiss.
  • Language:

    Frequent mild profanity (Hell, crap, ass) and one strong profanity (s-word).
  • Consumerism:

    A pair of Nike sneakers help the hero save the day, "Just Do It" included in dialogue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Sandlot 2

Parents need to know that there is a surprising amount of profanity for a PG movie, and graphic bathroom humor. There are some scary moments as a dog chases small children. There is some boy/girl romance, with one smooch, and a more aggressive kiss where a character kisses a girl against her will. While the cast is diverse and there are some issues early on about gender equality, the film never addresses these ideas thoroughly.

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 2.0

    Ok

    If you saw the original, check this out, just for laughs. It's not even close to what the original was but it wasn't that bad. It's pretty much the same plot, a big dog (the Great Fear) who turns out to be gentle, a younger version of Smalls (not as good of a character, though) who's a dork. But instead of a baseball that goes over the fence, it's a model rocket!!?? And they added girls. The ending's kinda funny. (Tarquel got abducted by aliens!) But it's not as good as the first one.
