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

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.
