Hiya! Yesterday, for Family Night we watched Angels in the Outfield that was William Dear, which starred Danny Glover, Brenda Fricker, Tony Danza, Christopher Lloyd, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. This is another movie I’ve seen way too many times, but my younger siblings wanted to see it. So, I didn’t mind seeing it again.
Angels in the Outfield is basically about a boy who lives in a foster home, and sneaks into baseball games with his friend to see the dreadfully hopeless California Angels. And one night the boy prays for help in the Angels winning. Then next time he goes to a game he sees Angels helping the team win, which everyone else accounts as a freak occurrence. The boy subsequently tells the coach who at first thinks he is just a crazy kid, but then does believe the boy sees Angels, and invites him to every game as a good luck charm to tell him which players to play.
Overall, it’s a typical feel good Disney movie, and I found it really cheesy and at times quite boring – I just kept thinking throughout the movie, "Man, I really want a cocktail and really want to watch The Mighty Boosh right now..." Plus, I forgot how damn long the climax drags on; you know what’s going to happen and you’re just waiting for it to bloody well happen already. ***TWO 1/2 STARS***
