Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy. This classic from Steven Spielberg finds a family" of living flying saucers helping the impoverished residents of a New York apartment building that has been targeted for demolition. 1987/color/107 min/PG/widescreen.
Quite possibly the nadir of Steven Spielberg's career as a producer, this piece of sentimental junk from 1987 concerns five little spacecraft which arrive on Earth just in time to help out some New Yorkers getting kicked out of a tenement. The script's goo just sticks to the viewer, and the cast looks silly by trying not to be silly. You get the feeling that Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment was pretty much throwing stuff at the wall to see what would hang there, and they came up with this ridiculous thing. --Tom Keogh
