Well... The Sandlot was exactly what we were after! What a lovely, funny, wholesome and heartwarming movie!

This made us nostalgic for a time and a place neither of us grew up in! Great little actors! Some seriously funny moments (looking at you squints and the great hambino) and just made everything feel right in the world for about 2 hours again!

This movie was chosen in our recent Cinematic Soulmate and Flix Legends poll. CRuss pulling out an absolute gem for us.Thank you everyone that voted in the polls.

The full length will be alongside this.

Much love,Lauren & Harry

So the toy that Scotty is playing with, and later uses to try and retrieve, the ball from the beast is called an “ Erector set”. It is actually the real name of the toy and everything that’s presented in the film. The Fourth of July scene and many other parts of the movie make me very emotional as an adult. This movie reminds me so much of my childhood personally. Even though it takes place in a time period before I was born. Reminds me a lot of how my dad probably grew up. So as a big softy as an adult, it gets me really emotional this film. The baseball card that Babe Ruth takes from Benny and his dream is a card of Henry Aaron or “Hank” Aaron. He’s the man who would go onto eventually break the all-time home run record of Babe Ruth. The actors that played young Benny and older Benny at the end when he’s in the pros, our actual brothers in real life. I thought there was a cool Easter egg you might like to know! Makes sense why they look so much alike! I also really love how Scotty kept all three baseballs. You can see all three at the end; the one that the beast chewed up, the one he got from Mr. Mertle, & the one where Benny forged Babe Ruth’s signature. It’s a really nice touch! This film is an all-time great something I enjoyed many times as a child and I love it just as much if not more as an adult.

We can see how this would be so nostalgic, there are scenes that are close to our childhood so we felt the same! They did look so similar, that's awesome they cast them both. We love when movies do that, such a nice touch! Definitely such a feel good film, could happily watch it again and again 😊
