Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this). As you guessed, it isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant.

The son "Ernie Henderson" started off as a potential school shooter, but Harry taught him empathy for living beings. Good one Harry, you saved a school.

John Lithgow and Don Ameche (Cocoon) make especially heart-warming and well sort of magical. Despite it being goofy. Harry is of course is a plus. They should have made a sequel. Loch Ness and the Hendersons Lol.

It started to win me over a bit towards the end but Harry and the Hendersons really isn't as funny as it could be. It actually is a bit of a slow mover. The concept has a lot of potential for laughs, and there is a bit of heart later on but Harry and the Hendersons is just a little too flat for too long.

A blast from the past, but still cheesy as hell. Score: 5/10.

Great watch, will watch again, and do recommend.

While the movie is quite dated at this point, it really isn't that noticeable. The biggest difference is that the information would travel much faster today, and probably the kids would be jerks and lend to the problem.

In 30+ years, I can't be More
