Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this). As you guessed, it isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant.

I don't remember much, but I do remember liking it so much that I watch the 2nd one too. Harry was really creepy to me though as a kid.

Really good effects with Harry, and a ton of heart in this pretty standard 80's family flick.

It's not something I would usually watch, and the second act was kind of slow. However I did find it charming in some areas.

Not only is this a great family film, but I love the moral evolution of George and Ernie in regards to hunting.
