Angels in the Outfield

Family drama based on the story by Richard Conlin. Roger (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a foster child whose irresponsible father promises to get his act together when Roger's favourite baseball team, the California Angels, wins the pennant.

The problem is that the Angels are in last place, so Roger prays for help to turn the team around.

Sure enough, his prayers are answered in the form of angel Al (Christopher Lloyd), and, before you know it, the Angels' bitter manager (Danny Glover) is watching in amazement as his team starts making the plays - with the help of angels visible to the audience only as glowing special effects.
