I don’t hear many people talk about this but I really like it.
Very cute alien movie. Good to watch with friends or family.
Classic. Fans of ET and Short Circuit will enjoy this one
Not a very popular classic from the 80s, but it’s a sweet family movie. It is still one of my “sick day” movies.
A fun and surprisingly overlooked 80’s sci-fi
The cutest movie of an alien invasion would rather help people than the typical "seek and destroy" tactic. Great with families.
Brilliant little movie for the whole family
A glance at how people used to think in the old times and it is not very imaginative
Great family sci-fi fun adventure movie, well worth seeing
Instant classic, should be on everyone’s gotta watch lists
