Highly recommended for people who are tired of "just kid" movies.

Rating: Null/10 (18 December 2002)

This movie is the perfect movie for any type of family, broken or not. The story of two sisters, Lilo and Nani, who are trying to keep it together after their parents are killed would strike a cord with anyone who feels as if no matter how hard they try to get ahead, everything comes crashing down around them. Enter alien expieriment 626, intelligent, mean, and escaped from a prison transport. He crashes on Earth and winds up in a pound where he disguises his second pair of arms and his antennae to be adopted by Lilo, who wished on a falling star (his crashing ship) the night before for a friend. After Nani loses her job, Lilo almost drowns, and Stitch blows up the house, the three realize that Ohana (family) is important above all things, and no one gets left behind. I cried while watching this movie, and I am no creampuff. Definitely one to watch at Christmas with the whole family!
