  A family hits bigfoot with their car when coming back from camping and decide to take the corpse back with them to Seattle. The problem: he isn't dead, but one of the most lovable creatures ever put on film. You gotta give Kevin Peter Hall credit for expressing a lot through his eyes, but the creators of the bigfoot suit also did a terrific job. The family friendly comedy is not exactly full of surprises but good enough for a few great laughs and the usual political correct morale at the end. The furry protagonist makes up for the cheesy parts and just makes you hope you could have one at home too.

  This 80's family comedy is a passable flick and nothing more. It didn't produce a lot of laughs but it's not without it's charm.

• Jason O

  
  Family movie classic indeed...easy to see why I'd always heard it mentioned from time to time.

• Lucas M

  
  Not so good like apparent be. Rotten.

• Tim S

  
  Fun family movie classic.

• Lady D

  
  One of my childhood favourites, so a nostalgic watch for me, still one perhaps kids would enjoy today. A fun re-watch.

• Dean !

  
  An average comedy as a family become friends with Bigfoot.

• Dean M

  
  A shaggy <i>E.T.</i> story, this focuses on the plight of a family that just happens to run into Bigfoot one day. It's silly, outrageously sentimental, and a gentle poke in the ribs of Steven Spielberg, whose Amblin Productions financed the film.

  Harry the Sasquatch is cute -- great make-up and animatronics. I really wanted to like this movie, but perhaps it needed a stronger director like Spielberg to showcase the typical Henderson family who takes in this beast. I would've been more angry if it had trashed my house.… More
  Harry the Sasquatch is cute -- great make-up and animatronics. I really wanted to like this movie, but perhaps it needed a stronger director like Spielberg to showcase the typical Henderson family who takes in this beast. I would've been more angry if it had trashed my house. More of Seattle should've been shown perhaps. I liked the smelly little guy who was hunting the Sasquatch. The ending with the community of Sasquatches appearing was a bit corny.

  Affable bigfoot related family comedy. John Lithgow's always good, but don't expect it to change your world...

  The story of a family and their Big Foot. I liked it.

• Leigh R

  
  Classic 80's film.

  Harry and the Hendersons has to be one of the most simplistic high concept films ever. What if a normal family one day met Bigfoot? Brilliant! Here's 15 million dollars! The film is charming enough and like most Amblin' films not directed by Spielberg the feel of the director seems to linger about the production. An OK family film that'll feel long-in-the-tooth even after one viewing. It's worth checking out, I guess, but don't have lofty expectations. I do, however, feel pretty safe saying this is the best film to star Bigfoot. For whatever that's worth.

  A heartwarming and funny film with some big laughs, when a chance car accident in the forest introduces the Henderson family to a real-life Bigfoot, who is not a ferocious monster but an intelligent and timid creature, he quickly becomes a true friend and part of the family. Now the Hendersons must race against the clock to return "Harry" back to his natural environment before the authorities capture him. A sweet-natured and amusing movie with a terrific performance from John Lithgow. Oscar Winner for Best Makeup by Rick Baker. Highly Recommended.

  Funny hilarious comedy of BIGFOOT. Just imagine what a Bigfoot can do to your home when you bring him into the rural city. So funny and John Lithgow is hillarious as George Henderson, that tries to see how Bigfoot can be a pet to his family in the suburban city of SEattle. Fun for the… More
