John Ulmer (johnulmer2003@msn.com)

Date: 1 September 2003
Summary: Extremely Overrated Mediocrity...

Surprisingly overrated Steven Spielberg film about an alien from outer space who stumbles upon a typical Steven Spielberg 80s urban family: The kids know everything and the adults are the bad guys, because they know nothing and aren't in touch with their "feelings." This kids-are-smarter technique worked in a Spielberg-produced film called "The Goonies," but it doesn't work here. Tries to be cute but comes off sickening and sappy. Yuck. Followed by countless rip-offs including "Mac and Me."

2.5/5 stars -
