Harry and the Hendersons (1987)
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.

I can still remember the first time I saw Harry...the movie was hilarious just about all the way through. Harry's costume was so realistic that it actually made the movie sorta believable, heh heh...and his antics were so funny, without being strained...I would have thought it would have gotten a better rating, but what the heck...I simply loved it for what it was, high comedy.
Harry and the Hendersons is one of the movies that almost everyone vaguely remembers for having a creepy looking lovable Sasquatch in it...but that's about it. In our review/gameshow, we get into the nitty gritty of what one remembers and what actually happens in this bizarre movie. Link here: https://youtu.be/ZwKz3-9TrFY
"Harry and the Hendersons" is a family movie in which we watch a family which while it is returning from a hunting trip in the forest its car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear that it was a man, but after they examine the body they find out that it's a "big foot". Thus, they take the body because they think that is dead but it is not and after that big foot becomes a friendly giant.I liked this movie because it is an amusing movie and if you watch it I am sure that you will have a really great time. I also liked this movie because of the simply hilarious interpretation of Kevin Peter Hall who played as Harry. Another good interpretation made by John Lithgow who played as George Henderson and he was very good at it.Lastly I want to tell you that "Harry and the Hendersons" is a funny movie with which you will have a great time and I am sure that if you have children then this movie you just have to watch.
An unlikely creature touches the hearts of a family in this underrated beauty. John Lithgow, Melinda Dillon and the rest of the cast all fit their characters perfectly. A wonderful chemistry of happy moments, sad moments and funny moments. The conclusion is both heartbreaking and heartwarming — not your typical family-film ending, but too perfect to be rewritten. The beautiful scenery of Washington State and the costume design are also to be admired. Joe Cocker's "Love Lives On" is the perfect song for this film's end credits. Followed by an inferior television series of the same name.**** (out of four)
