This is a clean movie about a baseball team that is down on their luck,and a young kid wishes for help for the team. Being as the team is the Angels, actual angels come to help the players play better. As the film progresses and the team wins more games each player and coach start to believe in themselves. For once, the good team ends the game not with heroics at the plate but with the pitcher snagging a line drive. Overall the movie was predictable but a great movie to watch with a family. Watch at least once-it is worth the effort to catch it. It is especially recommended for families who may not be able to have a lot of time to spend together.

I was in total disbelief when I saw Angels in the Outfield (1994) second to the last top movies of the year, whereas Forrest Gump (1994) was #1. I saw Forrest Gump and thought it was more like Forrest Junk; a movie I would not watch ever again and a total waste of my time. Angels in the Outfield was wrongly underrated. This movie was so good it wouldn't matter if you liked sports or not. Not only is it enjoyable for the whole family, but is good enough to watch over and over. The brightly glowing angels were depicted in a way everyone would expect them to look like, which is a plus compared to so many angel depictions that failed to accomplish such. There seem to be a Biblical take that is played in various ways, where good wins against all evil aspects eventually. There are also funny parts of which you just can't help but laugh about. Angels in the Endzone (1997) didn't do as good as this one, which was a surprising disappointment. Even the angels in it looked not convincingly real.

This was a top-notch movie with a top-notch cast. Danny Glover, Tony Danza, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and especially Christopher Lloyed are well-cast in this charming movie about real-life angels helping the Angels baseball team. You never know, it could happen. I loved Lloyd's role in it. He was hilarious. The story is about turning your life around, as the kid's belief in Angels helped turn around angry, hardened, and embittered manager Glover see the best in people. The movie was well made and also about seeing the best in people and reaching your dreams. It was funny, charming, touching, and sad, all very nicely done. You will like (or love) it. I guarantee.*** out of ****

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.
