Blurb: 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 an actual angel, Al.

Harry and the Hendersons (1987). The Henderson family adopt a friendly Sasquatch but have a hard time trying to keep the legend of 'Bigfoot' a secret.

The 80s really loved their family creature features, huh? This is mmm, not one of the better ones, between the underdeveloped family relationships and the too-light sitcom feel, but John Lithgow's always more fun than it feels like he has any right to be, and the Harry suit genuinely is a terrific technical feat, so an extra half star for them. 5/10.

Timerider: The Adventure of Lyle Swann (1982)

My rating: 3/10

Rarely have I seen a protagonist so utterly witless, gutless, gormless, and a long list of other adjectives ending in -less and pertaining to his complete lack of qualities one might want in a leading man, up to and including pointless. I mean, shit. This guy makes the Time Chasers dude look like fucking Ash Williams.
