A good John Carpenter film. Also his most subdued. Jeff Bridges gives a great performance

Starman is wholly endearing & earns it's abundant sentimentality with a great performance by Jeff Bridges.

A strange entry into Carpenter's filmography, yet so wholesome too.

You would be surprised to know that this is a John Carpenter movie. That is praise because this is not usually his M.O.

Starman sends the message that being human is beautiful and life can be great, love is a powerful thing you should enjoy it while you can

Change of pace for Joh Carpenter, Jeff Bridges is terrific as the titular character, nice to see Karen Allen outside of Marion Ravenwood.
