Harry and the Hendersons (1987) Reviews

Harry and the Hendersons (1987)
Member Rating:  
While vacationing in the Pacific Northwest, the Henderson clan's dad, George (John Lithgow); mom, Nancy (Melinda Dillon); daughter, Sarah (Margaret Langrick); and son, Ernie (Joshua Rudoy), accidently run over a strange animal with their car, and when they get out to see what it is, they find the seemingly dead body of a hairy Bigfoot-type monster (Kevin Peter Hall). Believing that the creature is a grizzly bear, the Hendersons take it home, planning to stuff the beast and put it on display in their living room. Predictably, the hirsute monster revives and is adopted by the family as a pet. Originally conceived as a TV series by comedian Brad Garrett, Harry and the Hendersons ultimately did make it to the small screen as a weekly syndicated sitcom in 1990, with Kevin Peter Hall repeating the title role during the series' first 24 episodes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This is a classic 80's movie. It is really funny. Worth a few good laughs if you have time.

This movie is great! One that goes down in history with the likes of 'The Great Outdoors'. Totally what a movie should be about, laughs and enjoyment.

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, but my wife had never seen it. We rented it recently and I loved it as much as I did when I was younger. There are definitely some obvious plot holes (only reason I gave it 4.5 rather than a full 5 stars), so if you get hung up on that sort of thing, you might find the movie a bit frustrating. The movie's got huge enjoyability though; it's comedic at times, then heartwarming and emotional at others. Great for viewers of all ages.

This is such a funny movie!! My kids loved it! It did have some swearing, though. I think the rating must have been different in the 80s.
