Endearing!

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2006)

Knowing to me this is like the G-rated version of the X-Files. But this has a lot of heart. You got a young boy named Elliot(Henry Thomas) who goes out on a quest with the others. Then one night, he throws a ball out into the shed, and he's freaked. Later out in the field, he's sees a strange creature shrieking at him. That creature was an alien botanist who is simply known as E.T. That same night E.T. retrieves the Reese's Pieces Candy that was left on the ground earlier. The government where on the trail of E.T., one of them finds the candy and samples it. Keeping E.T. from the government is one thing, keeping it from the mom is another. The older brother and sister Gertie(Drew Barrymore) both meet the creature and reacted the same way Elliot did. Now all three have met it, they take equal actions for its well being. With all the fun they have, one will learn after the other. E.T.: ELLIOT, E.T. PHONE HOME, and OUCH. I bet each one have their own talent as well. There was plenty of everything, drama, comedy, love, and intrigue. The ending was a tear-jerker, but who says it had to end on a sad note? Not me. This movie here is really fun for the whole family, and for all ages. 5 Stars!
