Earthbound

I remember my mother taking me to see this when it first came out then.:)

What I remember most is aliens, a green monkey that could turn invisible, and some football goalposts.:)

I would love to own this movie.:)

Ahhhh, I loved those times back then.:)

If only I could live them again.:)

I was surprised on how bad the reviews were on this movie. When I saw it on television I remember being glued to the set. I always hated my English professor when he points out my errors in writing. Instead of enjoying the story they point out all the technical errors. I believe if you watch the film with the intent on enjoying it, then you will. It's that simple. I especially liked it because the aliens helped Tommy deal with the loss of his parents.

I have to love this movie being that I was named after the daughter. I hated that as a kid but I just watched again for the 1st time in about 15 years and I love it all over again. I'm awesome lol.

No, actually, this isn't as bad a film as most people let on. Surprisingly, since this was released by the same people who brought us "Hangar 18" and "In Search of Noah's Ark".

Not exactly a good omen.

But with this tale of a stranded alien family, complete with a chimpanzee spray-painted green (ah, the sacrifices of art), trying to adapt to Earthling ways with the help of kindly old Burl Ives, it's actually a kind of meat-headed feel-good movie geared for the younger crowd. And it works well in that regard.

At least it knows when to go for the laughs. This is the only kind of movie in this genre I know of that ends with the line, "A green monkey ate my light bulb!"

Gotta love it.

Seven stars.

If the rental place is out of "ET", try "Earthbound".

I can remember going to the theater to see this as a little girl and thought it was the best movie ever! To this day I remember bits and pieces about the spaceship underwater and the aliens having the ability to disappear! I remember the family trying to hide the aliens in a camper. I remember sitting in the theater and not wanting the movie to end! I would love for my kids to be able to see this too! It would be great to see this one again!! Help me find it please. I have looked online at numerous places but I can not find where I can buy this movie. Unfortunately I can't find this movie anywhere! If anyone knows where to buy or even rent it, please post it and let me know! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....I have to find this one!
