Saw this with the family after buying the DVD in 2006.

It's a lovely, classic film which I first saw many years ago in the cinema. The lovable alien is a delight, and the ending is very moving.

Throughly enjoyable, highly recommended. ( )

Sublime performance by a bunch of kids. Due to vaguely scary scenes would advise 8+. ( )

Un pequeño ser de otro planeta se queda abandonado en la Tierra cuando su nave, al emprender el regreso, se olvida de él. Está completamente solo y tiene miedo, pero se hará amigo de un niño, que lo esconde en su casa. El pequeño y sus hermanos intentan encontrar la forma de que el pequeño extraterrestre regrese a su planeta antes de que lo encuentren los científicos y la policía.

One of my favorite films from my fleeting childhood of the early 1980s. I won't see the film until the early 1990s on VHS. ( )

Unbeatable story of a boy and his alien, funny, touching, nearly perfect. ( )
