I wasn't very moved by this harmless flick for kids 10-to-15 (???) years old. Others may feel differently, but I found the performances to be too restrained and the viewer being asked to be over-accepting, even though we're dealing with fantasy here: A single-being spacecraft crash-lands on earth, and a girl (not much over the driving age) and her brother (not much under the driving age) befriend the non-English-speaking alien, helping him with encounters involving their divorced father, a bumbling deputy, a stodgy government lady and an unrealistic photographer/professor/agent, among others. Also, Adrienne Barbeau provides some initial language-deciphering, given her character's knowledge of Native American words, from which the foreigner's speech has evolved. An element of suspense is created by the fact that the stay must end within a certain amount of time. And, as the visitor performs various tasks (such as restoring life to a dead rabbit), he's gradually depleting/not replentishing/running out of energy. My impression was that the kids' knowledge of what to do, and what things meant, was unbelievably excessive. This all causes a less-than-mediocre evaluation to come from here.
