    I actually saw this before its predecessor ("Angels in the Outfield"), so maybe that makes me biased, but I enjoyed it more. Like "Outfield", it's a really sensitive story about trying to overcome a loss in life. Matthew Lawrence and David Gallagher are great as the two brothers, as is Paul Dooley as the football coach. Another great Disney Channel movie that leaves you feeling good inside.

    It's rare that a sequel is as good or better than the original, but "Angels in the Endzone" is certainly that. It's the story of a boy who loses interest in football after his father dies, but regains his love of the game with help from on high. A fine cast featuring Christopher Lloyd and future "Hero" Jack Coleman headline this film that, while less lighthearted than "Angels in the Outfield", is more emotionally satisfying.

    The director coaxes very believable and heartwarming performances from the younger stars, and the football sequences are much more believable than most bigger budget films.

    Of all the heat people might give Disney for direct to video animated sequels, they don't do well with live-action ones either. This is basically "Angels In The Outfield" with football. Christopher Lloyd is the only actor from the original movie and he's probably the only good thing. I really do miss seeing those other talented actors here, especially Joseph Gordon-Levitt. There's this one annoying guy who's constantly betting on the losing team. Why doesn't he just try the other team?

    The actual team is called the Angels and their opponents are called the Devils. How explicit. We don't get any scenes involving the law or anything which really was a big part of the original films (the 1951 version is what I'm also counting). The movie is mostly just boring. There's no team that makes it professionally and thus much less tension. The ending is the exact same too. *1/2

    Angels in the Endzone is a very good family movie, Christopher Lloyd, Paul Dooley, and Matthew Lawrence .... give reasonably good performances. Angels is probably not the best made football movie ever made, but it has some funny sequences and serious moments. Disney actually did a good job with this one, watch it with the kids.
