Inspiring and delightful

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2004)

ET really is a touching and inspiring movie. It touches your heart and reminds you about that time when you were just a kid.
I have to admit that when I was a kid I had no interest in this movie, even when it was presented on the TV, I always changed the channel; but on the 20th anniversary of the movie, and with 16 years old, I thought: I have to see it.
And I wasn't disappointed: the movie is not the most impressive in CGI or sound, but it has something that while you are sitting there watching that grotesque creature you fall in love with it, and man, ET goes and I was crying like one of those ridiculous `sentimental girls', I couldn't believe it.
I don't know how Steven S. did it, but with ET he created something that I think I could call: How we could learn to accept and love to each other no matter of the differences of nation, language, or color.
And besides the whole sentimental thing, this movie is really entertaining, especially for Drew Barrymore, (I just knew her for Charlie's Angels) she is so adorable and funny.
This movie is a real delight, so if you think that you couldn't possibly enjoy a sentimental movie rated PG, shame on you.
