sappy? corny? brilliant?

Rating: 9/10 (5 July 2008)

for those of you who post here and disparage ET, you must be from outer space. you are not part of the human race.
this film may have its moments when you feel manipulated to the extreme, but that's what film is all about. get over it.
the writing is brilliant (courtesy of Harrison Ford's ex-wife).
the acting is great.
the direction is, well, if it's Spielberg (I've had people say I resemble him, (aww shucks)), it's usually quite good.
name me one director who hasn't made a stinker once in his/her career.
besides, Dee Wallace is hot in this film. oofah!
