Corny sci-fi about a family of aliens (they look A LOT like us humans) who find themselves stranded on Earth, chased by the usual government officials, protected by an old man and his orphaned grandson. Strictly kid's stuff, but it has some appeal. The effects are mostly of the "well, at least you can't see the strings" variety, but the film is still interesting as a precursor to "E.T". For a somewhat similar flick that will really surprise you, try "D.A.R.Y.L". (**)
