Corny, old-fashioned fun about an awkward new kid in town who makes friends with the local yutes who play sandlot baseball. A likable cast of kids goes a long way to making thin material work. More than a few similarities between this and better films such as A Christmas Story and Stand By Me, including the narration by writer/director David Mickey Evans. It's lightweight fluff, but that's fine. Kids should like it most.
