This Movie is OK, sort of

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2004)

I both liked and disliked this movie at the same time. Kinda like my parents.
I liked Elliot and the little girl that was also in Firestarter, which, by the way, was a hot movie. I thought the scene when they dressed the alien like a ghost and went trick or treating, then ended up flying on the bicycle was absolutely adorable. I think that Mr Kubrick was really on top of his game when he wrote that scene. I put the box of Kleenex that I usually keep next to my bed to good use during that scene.
Now for the bad.
Reese's Pieces? Really. Who eats those things? Do they even make them anymore? Would it have killed them to use some M&Ms? Way to go Stanley. Cute little aliens visit our planet and all you can think of to give them is Reese's Pieces? Why not just give them a Charlston Chew. Or perhaps a Reggie Bar.
Anyway. This movie was ok, if you ask me. I'd compare it to Earth Girls are Easy, or perhaps White Men Can't Jump.
I'd suggest seeing this movie if you can rent it for $1.99 or less.
