Charming, heartwarming, utterly
unforgettable mid-
eighties flick by
Steven Spielberg involving some couked-out
space aliens comprised of metal
mechanisms who come down from
outer space to challenge the inhabitants of a
New York apartment building who could use a little uplifting, uncanny craziness for once in their
down-trodden lives. Included then-
cutting-edge electro-shock special effects and fairy believable
cut-and-paste animation. Stars Jessica Tandy of
Driving Miss Daisy fame, and her husband, you know, that old dude from
Cocoon (no, not
Steven Gutenberg!)
Safe for children.
