				Plot Summary: 
				In the summer of 1962, a shy new kid in town, Scotty Smalls, 
				struggles to make friends until he's accepted into a group of 
				neighborhood kids who play daily at a local sandlot. The boys 
				embark on a series of adventures throughout their summer, 
				bonding over baseball, sleepovers, and a sexy lifeguard. Their 
				biggest challenge arises when a prized baseball is hit over a 
				fence into the backyard of a mysterious, legendary, and 
				supposedly fearsome dog known as The Beast. Dad's Preview: 
				A great film, similar to 
				Stand By Me (1986), about growing up in 
				a simpler age, before electronics and a thousand TV channels. 
				Our "gang" loves to play baseball at the local field. The 
				problem occurs when a fly ball lands in the backyard of "The 
				Beast". This film has a sweet innocence, and a lesson about 
				overcoming fears and insecurities.
