A boy in foster care prays for the hapless California Angels to win so his father will reunite with him — and actual angels start helping the team. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Danny Glover. PG rating is appropriate.

There is no sexual content or nudity depicted in the film, adhering to its family-friendly rating. Romantic elements are limited to very mild, innocent interactions without physical intimacy beyond perhaps a brief hug.

Physical violence is non-existent in this sports fantasy, with no injuries or aggressive combat occurs. The action is confined to standard baseball gameplay and occasional slapstick mishaps that result in no harm to the characters.

The film contains infrequent mild language consistent with a 1990s PG rating, including terms like 'hell,' 'damn,' and 'ass.' These instances are mostly used for comedic effect or to show the frustration of the baseball players and coaches during games.

There is no usage of illegal drugs or underage drinking presented in the movie. The depictions are limited to adult characters in background social settings, such as a stadium environment, without any emphasis on intoxication or substance abuse.

A child's faith and the wish for a family — the baseball is the vehicle but the story is about Roger's hope that his father will come back. Danny Glover's manager discovering his own faith. A genuinely warm film.

Angels in the Outfield runs 102 minutes, directed by William Dear, released in 1994.
