Summary: 3rd Rock kid when he was 10--great sweet film!
Review: Joseph Gordon-Levitt carries this movie. He's the kid who sees angels, and whose heart brings hope to the cellar-dwelling Angels and Manager Danny Glover. It'll make you laugh and cry, and believe that it's a good idea to stick around for the miracle. Get it for your kids and grandkids.

Summary: Angels help California win season; Hell freezes over
Review: Not-very-good remake about a last-place baseball team(the then-California Angels; the now-ANAHEIM Angels, thanks to Disney) which gets their help from Heaven all thanks to a little boy who just wants his father back.

Innocuous plotting and dialogue doesn't help much and why in the HECK would anyone want their kids to think that angels are biased spirits who help random sports teams CHEAT?!? Imagine explaining to your child that the very reason he didn't win was because there were no angels there to help his or her team...

I suppose all that wasn't the point, however. The movie just suffers from over-silliness and shows us that even though we have needless suffering throughout the planet, God will take his angels and let them play ball in order to help a child in need of role model(even though his sweet caregiver will do nicely). And can somebody tell me what kind of an orphanage will let their children go to a baseball game day after day even if it means travelling all over the CONTINENT???

The least favorite of all my favorite sports-movies is still okay for kids but I'm not entirely sure they'll fall for it either.

Followed by "Angels in the Endzone"(from Disney's quickee-department) and the enomously idiotic "Angels in the Infield"(from the part of Disney's department that's headed by six-year-olds).

Summary: A WINNER! with a lot of heart
Review: Released in 1994 Angels is first rate entertainment. While hardened cynics may squirm, some may even be won over by it's charm. A lot of fun with good performances, especially Danny Glover,it is a first rate disney film with all the ingredients that make it a winner, especially 'heart'. In the same vein as 'Mighty Ducks' and 'Disneys the kid' Angels is right up there with the best of disney's 'feel good' family pics. Very low on crude language and themes, it is a film for the young, the young at heart, baseball fans, and anyone that wants to be uplifted for about an hour and a half. This is one of the films that crosses the boundries between traditional disney entertainment and modern disney, and deserves its place among other studio favorites. However in an attempt to capture its success later the studio produced movies like 'heavyweights',and 'The big green' which didnt even come close to this charmer.

Summary: Good Baseball Movie
Review: This is a good baseball movie, but I thought this was rated PG for mild language, and the only langunage I heard was "Jackass." This movie is good but there are other baseball movies like "BASEketball" staring Trey Parker, and Matt Stone, and "Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch." I give this 4 stars.

Summary: Angels in the Outfield
Review: This is a really fun Disney family film. It is about as good of a film as it can be without living up to the original 'Angels in the Outfield.'

Rating:
Summary: Not just a baseball movie, a landmark film!
Review: This movie is great including the cast: Danny Glover, Tony Danza, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jay O. Sanders, Taylor Negron, and Chrisstopher Lloyd. I give it a (5 out of 5), because it's more than a baseball movie, it's a landmark film.

Summary: Disney, What Did You Expect?
Review: This movie is not funny (unless you like to watch people to fall down), it's not charming, it's not warm, it's not good. Like most movies of their genre, the acting is very second rate. I could only see liking for nostalgic reasons. The same recycled plot really doesn't capture anything here. The Disney machine cranks out another loser.

Summary: Heart-warming Story for Children & Children at Heart
Review: Two foster children, Roger and JP, go to the Angels ballgame. The Angels are losing, but Roger sees an angel behind the ball-players who have the best plays. He eventually convinces the manager to put certain players into the game. His choices seem to be the players who have not proven themselves all year. The ball game announcer mocks the decisions but is amazed as they perform the most unusual outstanding maneuvers which turns the luck of the team into winners. Knox, the manager, is finally convinced that Roger sees something and reluctantly follows his suggestions which keeps the Angels on a winning streak.

Both Roger and JP are foster-children of Maggie. Soon after one of the children in the foster home has been adopted, Roger goes for a custody hearing. There he discovers his own dad does not want him. Roger is given to the state of California for custody. Roger's hearing takes place on the day of a crucial game. He can not make it and without his help the Angels lose. Nonetheless, the Angels made it to the World Series. Knox is worried since he lost the previous game whether or not his team can win. It turns out Roger meets the head angel-in-the-outfield who lets him in on a secret, Mel Clark, the pitcher has cancer and only 6 months left to live, however he does not know it yet. It turns out that the Angels playing in the World Series are not permitted to receive help from the angels-in-the-outfield. The ball players must win this one on their own power ...

Needless to say, one can guess the ending ... However, the plot thickens, as the announcer of the ball game suspects some trick in the Angels winning streak. He tells the newspapers that the manager believes their winning streak is due to divine intervention, in the form of angels. Due to this revelation, the owner of the team wants to fire the manager. Just when Knox intends to announce his resignation at a news conference, there is an unexpected turn of events. The ball players stick together and each stands up declaring, if the manager leaves so will they. The team goes on to win the World Series and the foster children reeive a big surprise, too. They are adopted by an unlikely "father". This story will touch the heart of children and adults alike. It is a "feel good" story filled with poignant moments and heart-warming results.
