The movie The Sandlot was directed by David Evans. It takes place in a small town in the early 1960's. A young boy named Scottie Smalls moved into town with his family. All the local boys make fun of him. Scottie follows them to a baseball field they call the sandlot. Somebody smacked one out in to the outfield where Scottie was standing. He ran and got the ball and threw it back to them. …showed first 75 words of 871 total…

…showed last 75 words of 871 total…any of their balls back and Scottie would have been grounded for the rest of his life. In concluding, I didn't believe that the movie The Sandlot should receive an Oscar Nomination based on the criteria set forth by the academy. Although the movie has a good plot and it has a very good moral it is not really funny. This movie shouldn't be in the comedy category. This movie is more a family movie.
