"Seems like you're saying
it's okay to believe in God, but it's not okay to believe in
angels.
Now I thought they were on the same team." -
Maggie
Why watch this?
A heart-warming baseball film, with a dash of the miraculous.
Plot Summary: A
young foster boy named Roger loves the California Angels
baseball team, even though they're the worst team in the league.
When his absentee father jokingly says they'll be a family again
when the Angels win the pennant, Roger prays for divine
intervention to help the team. To his surprise, real angels
start to assist the players, leading to a miraculous winning
streak that captures the attention of the team's skeptical
manager, George Knox.

Dad's Preview:
I gave this film a try because of Danny Glover. What I didn't
expect was the great performance by one-time TV Star Tony Danza.
This sweet movie caught me off guard. My kids loved it - and so
did I. It is the purest kind of fun. Look for future stars Neal McDonough, Adrien Brody and Matthew McConaughey,
all playing small supporting roles. |
