7/10
daft and adorable woodland creature

Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS Out of most of the myths and legends which refer to the Forest, few are as popular as the legend of the Sasquatch, more commonly known as Bigfoot. In 1987's "Harry and the Hendersons", John Lithgow and his family encounter the friendly animal and he gradually finds a way into their hearts.

On a family holiday, the Henderson family encounter a large animal. Taking it home thinking it's dead, it's not long before they realise that he's very alive and very happy.

This film is your typical 1980s feel good film. With all the traditional characteristics, it leaves you happy, content and with a aching from laughing.

The best thing about this film is Harry himself. Played by Kevin Peter Hall, the Bigfoot is your typical cute, cuddly little TV character, only considerably taller than usual.

All in all, "Harry and the Hendersons" is a daft little film. It's not going to win any awards, but it's perfect afternoon viewing, making us smile from start to finish.
