I'm trying to help a friend set up her 20 gallon tank (not a 20 long). The tank will be planted, and she's aiming for the following fish:
5-6 cardinal tetras
1 angelfish
5 bronze cories
2 bristlenose plecos
What do you all think?

I think the cardinals may eventually end up as a meal for the angel fish. Another species of tetra would be a better move.

A couple of Honey Gourami's would be better than a Angel in my opinion.

but if you want the angelfish, then maybe some black phantom tetras like the one in your avatar, some lemon tetras, bleeding heart, serpae, maybe even diamond tetras.

Will an angel grow too large for a 20 gallon?

The important thing with Angels, as compared to similar fish, is the hight of the tank. Gallon for fish, you should be fine, but a 20 gallon is pretty short for angels, in my opinion.
