Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

An almost forgotten film, and until dvds were around, wasn't seen much. A true 80s film, it's quirky and geeky and full of fun. Anyone that grew up in the late 80s or early 90s should remember this film, as it brings back nostalgic memories when watching it now.I especially loved the performance of John Lithgow, who later became most famous for 3rd Rock from the Sun. He is the most memorable actor from the film.The film is very lighthearted and fun, and one a whole new generation should enjoy. A genuine family film.Not the greatest special effects, but like I said, it's geeky and quirky. It's fun, old fashioned, family fun.

The Henderson family adopt a friendly Sasquatch after accidentally running him over on a hunting trip, but have a hard time trying to keep him away from the authorities and an eccentric hunter who's determined to catch "Bigfoot".What makes this film good really comes down to two things: nostalgia and the impressive work of Rick Baker. As a whole, it is not an amazing film, but it is a memorable one and had some cultural impact. And Baker's work (along with his crew) is incredible. The facial expressions? Kevin Peter Hall did not have a long career (sadly), but between this and the Predator, his reputation will be cemented forever.Interestingly, some have said this film is like "E.T.", which is notable because Steven Spielberg was the producer. I can see what they're saying, with taking this foreign creature and making it part of your family. There are distinct difference and "E.T." is clearly the better film, but it's an interesting comparison.

I remember how much I loved this movie! It was a great movie obviously meant for families and or children. The story involves a family (with John Lithgow playing the father) going out into the woods for some family fun but then while driving back dad accidentally hits a big beast with his station wagon. They're not sure if they killed whatever it was and don't know what they hit, so they check it out and it turns out to be a real life Bigfoot. After he turns out to still be alive they nurse the Bigfoot back to health and name him Harry, but at first Dad only sees the possible fortune they could make selling Harry. Harry doesn't help his own cause by destroying a lot of stuff in the house, eating their plants etc. Professional Bigfoot hunters become involved and the family has to decide whether to keep Harry or sell him or help him get back to freedom.

When an family by the name of the Hendersons (John Lithgow, Melinda Dillon, Margaret Langrick and Joshua Rudoy) are leaving from their camping trip. While going back home to Seattle. They accidentally hit, what seems to be an animal. It is actually a Sasquatch "Bigfoot", they hit on their family vehicle. Thinking that the "Bigfoot" is dead. The "Bigfoot" (Played by the late:Kevin Peter Hall) is actually creating havoc in their home and the city. But the family is well liked by the creature. They never think that this Sasquatch is actually a nice and sensitive creature. But when a big name hunter (David Suchet), who believes in the myth is actually tracking down the Bigfoot.Directed by William Dear (If Looks Could Kill, Simon Says, Wild America) made an sharp entertaining family film, which it could be enjoyed for all ages. The late Oscar-Winner:Don Ameche appears in a supporting role. Lithgow is excellent. Kevin Peter Hall brings a warm, funny performance as the Bigfoot "Harry". Which the actor played a different kind of creature in "Predator 1 & 2". Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London, Ed Wood, Men in Black) own an Oscar for his make-up effects work. This memorable comical fantasy movie is memorable. Certainly worth a look. (****/*****).
