Harry and the Hendersons

Just as Mac and Me eventually devolved into a feature-length commercial for McDonald's, Harry and the Hendersons eventually emerges as a vegetarian screed.

...an amiable comedy that benefits substantially from the stellar work of its various performers...

The movie feels heavy and repetitive. [Full Review in Spanish]

There's some interesting gender stuff: The dad, who works at his own father's gun dealership, is all camo-sports-masculinity, but turns out to be hiding a talent for tender artistry which the events of the film vindicate...

While E.T. had tears to spare for everyone in the family, Harry and the Hendersons is strictly for the kids.

A big, Harry family adventure full of laughs.

Up there with E.T, as one of the top family flicks of the 80s
