5.5. A classic movie about sobering

Rating: 5/10 (28 March 2020)

At age 30 this is my first time watching this movie. I heard a lot about it in mainstream media as references and gags. Therefore I get the perception that this has to be a classic, great 20/10 movie and a movie that was the game changer.
Oh boy ET is just a sobering story about a single mom (haha! ) and her children that discover an alien. Afterwards the glorious nosy government intervenes and does what they do best.
Then ET goes home and Elliott and ET have a 7 minute farewell session before ET gets on the ship and credits roll.
Et is an overrated movie that is recommended to sappy, sensitive, emotional and cringy folks.
