LITTLE ANGELS stars Dean Cain in a family-friendly sports comedy. Cain plays Jake Rogers, a successful and vain college football coach looking to repeat his national championship title. However, the university suspends Jake for the entire season after he makes a derogatory remark about girls who play sports. He is ordered to perform community service and coach a football team of apathetic, inexperienced young women. Can Jake get them to care? Better yet, will working with the girls make Jake care about someone other than himself?
LITTLE ANGELS is a funny, tender, and heartwarming sports comedy. The film takes a while to reach its third act, but the ending is fun and satisfying. LITTLE ANGELS has strong morals, a pro-family worldview, and positive Christian content. Coach Jake realizes that his life has been pretty empty because he hasn't had anyone to share it with. In the end, he compares being part of a team to being part of a family, where everyone looks out for each other. Also, one of the girls on his team reads the Bible, mentions eternal salvation, and prays.

LITTLE ANGELS, starring Dean Cain, is a family comedy about a successful but conceited college football coach who must perform community service and coach a football team made up of apathetic young women with no experience in the sport. LITTLE ANGELS is a funny and heartwarming sports comedy with a strong message of support for family, faith, and repentance. However, the first two acts could be cut a bit, and there is brief but mild profanity, so caution is advised for young children.
The film opens with the college football national championship. Coach Jake Rogers, played by Dean Cain, and his team win their second consecutive National Championship. However, on the final touchdown, he lets a girl kick the extra point, and she misses. After the game, Jake jokes with the athletic director about the girls playing football. The next day, the Board of Trustees fires the athletic director and suspends Jake for the entire season.
The Trustees have also hired a new Athletic Director, Charli Martin. Charli, spelled without an "e," turns out to be a woman. She informs Jake that the Trustees want him to do 50 hours of community service and attend sensitivity counseling. The sensitivity counselor turns out to be a bit of a jerk, and the community service hours involve coaching a local group of female football players, the worst in the league. The team doesn't even have a name.
Of course, Jake doesn't really want to be there. Surprisingly, the girls don't seem to like him either. So Jake has a terrible time provoking the girls. Also, the new athletic director, Charli, catches Jake wearing Bluetooth headphones while trying to call plays for his varsity football team for assistant coach Darren. Jake also discovers that one of the girls on his team, Tevy, is Charli's adopted daughter.
Jake starts taking the soccer team seriously when he realizes that the league's coordinator, Richard Dragon, coaches the league's best team, the Dragons. So he uses some of the millions of dollars he's earned as a famous college football coach to hire Brandi Chastain, the former Olympic soccer player who now runs a charity that teaches soccer to girls, for a day.
However, the girls still need help. So he offers to tutor the twins of the nearby Mexican restaurant owner and even fill in for them at the restaurant if they play on the team. The twins have immense soccer talent, and their talent inspires the other girls.
Plus, the girls have decided to call themselves the Angels. This pleases one of the girls on the team, who is always reading her Bible. The Angels start winning games, inching closer to the playoffs. However, can they beat the Dragons? Also, will Jake still be with them when the university decides to lift his suspension and let him coach the football team?
LITTLE ANGELS takes a while to reach its final act. Despite this, it's a funny and tender sports comedy with a heartwarming and funny ending. Dean Cain's interactions with the girls and his romantic interest, the new Athletic Director, Charli, played by Helena Mattsson, are entertaining. His rivalry with the Dragons' coach is quite funny.
