It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Angels in the Outfield (1994) ** (out of 4)Roger (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a big fan of the Los Angeles Angels as its his one getaway from his troubled home life. His mother recently passed away and his dad doesn't want anything to do with him but promises to if the Angels win the World Series. This is when Roger prays for a championship and some angels decide to deliver.ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD is a remake of the 1951 film and it basically follows the same sort of storyline as that one. This film was made at a time when there were quite a few baseball movies out there aimed at children including LITTLE BIG LEAGUE, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR and MAJOR LEAGUE II. I'd argue that this one here is the weakest of the bunch but if you don't take it too serious then you might get some mild entertainment out of it.I think the film will mainly appeal to young kids. I say that because a lot of the attempted comedy is really of the slapstick kind and I personally didn't find it very funny. The movie certainly has its heart in the right place and it was obviously just trying to appeal to children with its message of prayers helping and coming true.The film does benefit from a great cast that includes a fine performance from Gordon-Levitt. You've also got the likes of Danny Glover as the coach, Brenda Fricker, Tony Danza, Christopher Lloyd as a boss angel and there's even Matthew McConaughey. The cast certainly makes it more watchable for older people but ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD is just a bit too weak to really recommend.

I have to say despite it's reviews Angels in the Outfield was a pretty good movie. I like the fact how it teaches kids to always have faith and never give up because yes miracles can happen. Unlike the other baseball movies this one particular movie stood out because of hits amazing special effects and well orchestrated soundtrack which was very interesting. Though I liked this movie it did have some flaws such as some irrelevancy (i.e. Towards the end when Ray Mitchell hits a homer he doesn't step on the plate and therefore that wouldn't be a score. But that's just nitpicking.) I have to say i was really impressed with this movie's presence and moral: Just have faith, Don't give up.

I saw this film on TV many years ago and I saw this film when I got this on tape. I thought that this was reasonably well done. It was not the best of all movies, but it was good enough. The movie has enough talent to inspire many people, especially younger kids. The acting was good, with Danny Glover leading the cast. The plot line was not very believable, but the script was well written. This movie can also be the interest of avid baseball fans. It does not directly apply to a action-packed sports movie. It directly applies to a nice film that you can watch with your family and learn some messages that are hidden in this film. Overall, the film was good, but not great. I give this a movie a 7/10.

You know, this movie isn't that great, but, I mean, c'mon, it's about angels helping a baseball team. I find the plot line to be hilarious anyways, this kid's dad says he'll take him back if the angels win the pennant (because he knows they won't) Kid prays to his fake god to help the angels win, god helps the whole time (via the angel Christopher Lloyd, RIP) And in the end, his dad doesn't take him back and rides off on his motorcycle right in that kids face. it's hilarious until Danny Glover adopts it and it's friend.I guess the upside is that the old lady is left alone to die with her stitchin' projects and her stories. The real winner here, though, is god. Because later he got a job as a writer for numerous prank shows.As a kids movie, it gets a 7. As a movie about the mysteries of blind, stupid faith, and the nature of "god," it gets a 10.
