i remember see that in the theater. it was pretty lame, but 4 stars of nostalgia sake

-1 star for not including the clip of the kid in the wheelchair going off the cliff. That was pure gold, I don't know why it wasn't in the trailer.

b rate ET rip off. fucking mac.

There's no level of irony that can merit this more than 1 star.

This is a landmark film. It opened the doors for blatantly obvious product placement in other children's sci-fi films such as Transformers. Also, the Mountain Dew transformer actually has a cameo in this movie. For real. He's eating McDonald's.

This movie ends with the aliens becoming naturalized American citizens. I have decided that this fact warrants a one star rating. So, two stars.
