Your’e Killing Me Smalls! THE SANDLOT Midnights This Weekend at The Tivoli (and Saturday at Noon)

“Anyone who wants to be a can’t-hack-it pantywaist who wears their mama’s bra, raise your hand!”

THE SANDLOT (1993) plays this weekend (August 19th and 20th) at The Tivoli at midnight as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli midnight series. It will also screen at noon on Saturday.    

THE SANDLOT is a beloved film that over the last 23 years has gained quite a cult following thanks its joyous nostalgia that’s along the lines of A CHRISTMAS STORY. Unlike many movies that claim to be family films, THE SANDLOT actually is a “family film”. Kids like it for the  situations and dialogue, while adults relate to it as well. Young Scotty Smalls (Tom Guidry) moves into a new town and desperately wants to fit in with the rest of the neighborhood boys and in the summer of 1962, a bat and a ball is all it takes. A solid swing will send the ball sailing over the fence to never be seen again for it lands in Mr. Mertle’s (James Earl Jones) backyard, which is guarded by a humongous dog…a super slobbering “beast” that devours anything and everything. The high drama and dilemma of the summer is trying to retrieve a Babe Ruth autographed ball from the beast. Other cast members of note: Patrick Renna, Mike Vitar, Chauncey Leopardi, Denis Leary and Karen Allen. THE SANDLOT is nostalgic, sentimental and stuffed full of innocence and humor. Worth watching again…and again and you’ll have your chance this to see it  three times this weekend when THE SANDLOT plays midnights Friday and Saturday (August 19th and 20th) and Saturday at Noon!. It’s definitely a must see for anyone who has their old mitt lying somewhere in a closet or attic at home, and count on wanting to find it and take it outside to play catch when the movie is over (at 2AM!!)

Don’t miss THE SANDLOT when it screens midnights this weekend at The Tivoli (and Saturday at Noon!)
