Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
c_o_r OK, everybody knows more or less what are all the movies of Bud Spencer about, so i'll not try to sell it as a masterpiece. But i still remember it as one of the favorite movies of my childhood. The story is the usual "E.T. meets all kind of humans, some of them very friendly, and others not so friendly", but made in the usual Bud Spencer style. Bud Spencer is the sheriff of a little town in USA, and has to fight with all the bad guys, army, etcetcetc. Funny as hell, the little "remote control" used by the kid was one of the most wanted toys of our times. I saw it recently, and... i still watch it with a smile, despite knowing that is far from being a good movie and also that it aged quite badly.
irisilvi I think is a sweet, tender and funny movie. Child is wonderful and Bud is genial. Remember scene fishing in the lake. And music is very correct and right. I think is a movie to watch all the family. Greetings from Barcelona
tabonga2001 Little Cary Guffey from Spielberg's "Close Encounters" plays here an extra-terrestrial kid who got beamed down on Earth by mistake, and meets with Bud Spencer who, as any good sci-fi cop, doesn't believe the kid and thinks he's only pulling his legs. He will make up his mind pretty quickly, and will side with the little kid, while the army tries everything to snatch the alien. The story offers many standard moments for Bud Spencer's punch-fight trademark scenes, and even if very naive, the story is good for more than a few laughs and a very satisfying ending. The Oliver Onions' sountrack (Guido & Maurizio DeAngelis) doubles the pleasure. It's not Frank Capra, but it's a good movie for the whole family.
DoctorC This film has all the usual elements of the 'Alien Visitor' format and doesn't tax the viewer, but it is truly memorable in places. I haven't seen this film for a long time, yet I still laugh every time I think about H7-25 with his time reversal gadget, making his pursuers leap in and out of a helicopter. Bud Spencer as the sheriff looks and acts like he should have been in spaghetti westerns, yet this approach works beautifully, especially in the scene where the kid eats his sandwich. This film is just the thing to watch the day after a big night out. Sit back, stop thinking, be amused.
