NARRATOR: carrot or stick?

What do you guys think about the use of a narrator (or VO) in films? Is it a cheesy cop-out? Or a useful tool that is overused?
Personally I've been tempted to use it as a convenient device, but for some reason feel like it would hurt the integrity of my writing. Then again, I have seen it employed well in many great films, Sandlot is the first that comes to mind.
So what do you guys(gals) think?
