Editorial Review:
Catch the movie that flew over the fence and into the hearts of millions of cheering fans! It's Disney's ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD, the feel-good film of the year about a young boy praying for a father -- and a struggling baseball team praying for a pennant. Danny Glover plays George Knox, the frustrated coach of the California Angels, a ragtag team of major-league misfits who are down on their luck. But things begin to look up when 11-year-old Roger, their biggest fan, starts giving Knox some winning tips from a real live angel named Al (Christopher Lloyd). The team miraculously climbs back into the pennant race ... all the while learning to believe in themselves. With its heavenly mix of outrageous comedy, dazzling special effects, and amazing baseball action, Disney's ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD is an entertainment home run for the whole family!
Description of Angels in the Outfield:
This effects-heavy, 1994 remake of the 1951 film starring Janet Leigh and Keenan Wynn is all computer-generated pizzazz, with none of the charm or imagination of the original. Aimed squarely at children this time, the story focuses on a boy who gets some divine intervention on behalf of his favorite ball club. Christopher Lloyd plays the head angel, and Danny Glover is good as the team's manager, but the real star of the film--for better or worse--is the software that makes a glowing, celestial presence on the field seem real. --Tom Keogh
Angels in the Outfield Reviews:
They ARE Watching! 
2009-10-23 - A SUPERB remake of a film by the same name. Danny Glover did a GREAT job as a man who wanted GOOD THINGS to happen SO much, that he accomplished the REALLY difficult. He got his own EXPLOSIVE temper under control AND gave two children looking for LOVE, a REAL life. ALONG the way, THE VIEWER learns there is a REASON for doing the BEST one can, as the help that one CAN get is NOT always "obvious" to NORMAL eyes. And BEFORE the film ends, the viewer is cautioned by the friendly, Chief Angel,who over-saw the HELP given THIS team, that "We are ALWAYS watching!" One SHOULD consider THIS FILM as FOOD for THOUGHT!
Outstanding Movie
2009-08-08 - Movie appeals to entire family - from 3 years to adult. Should be watched in a family setting. Many years old, but still thoroughly enjoyable.
The Angels & The Angels 
2009-05-06 - I used to watch this film many times when I was young. Now, I see it again, and I still admire it. It's a heartfelt experience that can be shared by children, parents, and relatives (both near and distant). It's both comedic and dramatic, and there's plenty of good special effects. Maybe it's because I'm an Angels fan, but this never gets old. I'd recommend this to any Angels fan, and to those who believe in God & angels from heaven.
