A decent family film for 2002

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2002)

There's nothing grandiose about this Disney film. It is, after all, about a super-strong lonely alien crash-landing on Hawaii and looking for a bit of refuge. What it does accomplish is good, clean, fun entertainment for children AND adults alike in one movie (toss in a few family value lessons, too); something I have yet to seen accomplished in the Summer of 2002. That's all you could really want and Disney does it with good style with nothing over the top. Lilo & Stitch is a pure gem, and certainly worth the time to go see, or if you have already, add to your DVD collection.
8/10
