The Sandlot is a charming piece of nostalgic Americana, and because it's told by the adult version of one of the kids who, over the course of the film, spends a summer in the early 60s playing baseball and retrieving a ball from the monstrous dog behind the fence, the cornball elements are sold completely. Of course it's an idealized childhood with a fantastical creature and crazy contraptions! It's how the story is told, embellishments and all. And I quite like films that pull a Munchausen without overtly saying so. The Sandlot is a film for the whole family without being only for kids, and it's filled with memorable scenes, characters and dialog. Entirely pleasant.
