It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
View MoreIf I were to choose just one, single word to best describe this "shaggy" comedy called Harry and the Hendersons (that's HATH, for short), that word would definitely have to be - "Cute".Yeah. "Cute" pretty much sums up HATH to a "T".It's plainly obvious that the audience which HATH is aimed at is, of course, children - But, what the heck - Can't a big kid at heart, like Dalbert Pringle here, enjoy being entertained by this thing, too? HATH's total appeal rests solely on the big, broad shoulders of the Harry character, who just happens to be the most adorable, and, yes, cutest Sasquatch that you're ever gonna set your peepers on.Of course, Harry isn't particularly cute, or adorable, at first, though. No way.To begin with, Harry is mainly a mean and ornery cuss, as only a bona fide Sasquatch (suddenly removed from his own environment) could possibly be expected to be. It's the Henderson's (especially George) who teach Harry about the rewarding benefits of cuteness and adorability, and, of course, the necessity of bathing.
View MoreHarry and the Hendersons is one of the movies that almost everyone vaguely remembers for having a creepy looking lovable Sasquatch in it...but that's about it. In our review/gameshow, we get into the nitty gritty of what one remembers and what actually happens in this bizarre movie. Link here: https://youtu.be/ZwKz3-9TrFY
View MoreAn unlikely creature touches the hearts of a family in this underrated beauty. John Lithgow, Melinda Dillon and the rest of the cast all fit their characters perfectly. A wonderful chemistry of happy moments, sad moments and funny moments. The conclusion is both heartbreaking and heartwarming — not your typical family-film ending, but too perfect to be rewritten. The beautiful scenery of Washington State and the costume design are also to be admired. Joe Cocker's "Love Lives On" is the perfect song for this film's end credits. Followed by an inferior television series of the same name.**** (out of four)
View MoreI have seen this movie and it was a great movie. Harry the Bigfoot was interesting. Don Amche as Dr. Wallace Wrightwood did perfect. Kevin Peter Hall did a great Harry. Joshua Rudoy as Ernie Hederson was cute. Whats funny that Harry laughs hilarious. Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "Bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this..). As you guessed, "it" isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant. In their attempts to keep Harry a secret, the Henderson's have to hide him from the authorities and a man, who has made it his goal in life, to catch a "Bigfoot" You will like this movie it is such a great movie.
