Harry and the Hendersons

1987 · 1h 50m · Comedy, Family, Fantasy

IMDb 6.1 Metacritic 42 RT 50%

This one's a pass. Despite being a harmless family film with a decent premise, the middling scores (50% RT, 6.1 IMDb) tell you it doesn't quite land—it's neither funny enough for adults nor engaging enough to captivate modern kids. There are better family options out there for tonight.

Plot

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.

Director: William Dear
