When 11-year-old foster child, Roger, hears his drifter... The down and out California Angels are so bad, one dysfunctional family even begins to compare their own tragedies with this baseball team. When 11-year-old foster child, Roger, hears his drifter Dad sardonically compare the two -- that the chances of reuniting the family are as good as the Angels winning the pennant -- Roger takes it as a promise and the truth. That night, he prays for the Angel's success, and in response, a star winks back at him with promises of baseballs faster than the speed of light and players able to leap tall buildings for a single catch.

Reviews for Angels In the Outfield
Terrible fantasy. Full of depressing things like orphans and death. No amount of angels can uplift that.
On behalf of Angels fans everywhere, I demand an apology from the makers of this film.
The main problem here is one that seems to plague too many movies these days -- the film simply cannot seem to settle on a tone, wildly careening from broad, silly slapstick to syrupy sentiment.
