      Quite possibly the nadir of Steven Spielberg's career as a producer, this piece of sentimental junk from 1987 concerns five little spacecraft which arrive on Earth just in time to help out some New Yorkers getting kicked out of a tenement. The script's goo just sticks to the viewer, and the cast looks silly by trying not to be silly. You get the feeling that Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment was pretty much throwing stuff at the wall to see what would hang there, and they came up with this ridiculous thing. --Tom Keogh

      I really loved this movie. I first saw it when I was younger and always wanted to see it again as I got older. The movie gives you hope and makes you believe that when you ask for help you will get it.

      As I told my kids about this movie I once saw about those cuddly little flying saucers, they were immediately keen to watch it. Seeing it for the second time after all these years, I enjoyed it even more than back then. Superficially, it is a well-constructed plot about the good guys and the bad guys, where the good guys get some unexpected help. Only the good guys are not the run-of-the-mill type young and good-looking heroes, but elderly and suffering from Alzheimer's disease, poor, a pregnant single mother to be, a mute ex-boxing champ, or a frustrated artist. Even the main bad-guy character is blessed with depth of character. Several subtle sub-plots turn the story into a sympathetic statement about human dignity. The superb acting of particularly Jessica Tandy adds a magical touch. The little UFO's were even better than I remembered. It must have been great fun to make this movie.
