Roger 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.

This movie genuinely has something for everyone. If you want a solid sports movie with an underdog angle, this has it. If you want a touching coming of age story with found family, this has it. And if you want a semi-goofy, semi-spiritual narrative about the power of hope and faith, this most certainly has it.
