Things change when a UFO crashes in his backyard and the inhabitant wanders into his home and his life. Meanwhile, two friends (Harriet Sansom Harris & Jane Curtin) add to the concerns. While this is billed as a comedy, it's not funny. There is a light-hearted tone, but it's mostly living in the "sweet" lane. Issues of aging are introduced and it's def less upbeat than most of the films being released these days with a primary cast over 65. The alien character (played by Jade Quon) is interesting, but is basically a quiet sounding board for the humans. Fortunately, the actors all do a fine job, which helps this odd little film find its heart. Expand

E.T. for the AARP crowd.
A pleasant summer diversion from the crash, boom, bang, genre.
Ben Kingsley gave a heartfelt, touching performance that reminded me a lot of my Mom, and how I had a hard time believing her and not facing the facts

Ben Kingsley gave a heartfelt, touching performance that reminded me a lot of my Mom, and how I had a hard time believing her and not facing the facts that her health/memory were slowly declining.
I also loved the supporting cast and a big shout-out to Jane Curtin. Where's she been? I almost lost it when she began singing Free Bird. Nice touch, Jane. It doesn't matter what you believe, what matters is we all need to be kinder to one another and show a little compassion. It's easy to get wrapped up in the days events and forget what matters most. Family and friends. We are all just trying to get back home, one way or another.

Light, touching movie that clocks in at 90 mins! Very enjoyable watch, but nothing ground breaking.
