If in Christine Carpenter told a story of a boy that fills an emotional void with an unemotional object (a car), here the salvation comes from above, in a narrative that refuses to be melancholic -- it is, actually, sober and slow-burning --, and that is nicely directed as a naive sci-fi romance (vs military agitation). Here, a woman that lost her lover and can't have babies is touched by an invisible form of life that takes the shape of her beloved man and brings her the seed of life. Not bad.

fine performance from Jeff Bridges makes this work.

Pleasantly surprised. The acting was great, especially from Jeff Bridges. It's aged pretty well, minus a few very 80s special effects. So glad I watched it.

Nice film with great leads.

STARMAN began as a 1984 movie directed by John Carpenter, about an extraterrestrial [Jeff Bridges] coming to Earth after encountering our Voyager II probe. He found himself being chased by the military (George Fox [Richard Jaeckel] and Mark Shermin [Charles Martin Smith]), and aided by a young human woman named Jenny Hayden (played by Karen Allen). He ultimately found his way home, but not before fathering a child. In 1986 a television series based on the movie premiered on the US ABC network

Bawww come on y'all, why is everybody being so nice to this movie? Jeff Bridges plays an alien as a mix between special needs and Frankenstein, spitting out top-shelf cornball cliches such as "Define LOVE". This xeno-fugitive/kidnapper style movie was done with a lot more charm in Short Circuit. It's cool guys, I love John Carpenter too, but this is good as a mockery target and little else

Jeff Bridges is always fun, but the plot of this is one hundred percent predictable. If you've seen ET, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, or any other movie with good aliens on modern-day Earth, you can predict the course of this movie from minute one.

Bridges is charming and it's a fun movie for when your folks come to visit.

Well the feds were annoying, but the rest was nothing but fun and affecting with some of the cheesiest romance, comedy, and sci-fi coming together as something rather sweet and heartfelt. An awesome product of the 80's.

Sweetly endearing. While definitely cheesy, one somehow forgets that while watching. The scene with the deer is great.

Jeff Bridges fans shouldn't miss this one!

It drags on a bit, and it occasionally gets really weird, but god damnit I loved the shit out of this film. Starman is a more ambitious, much creepier and far superior E.T. Bridges is spectacular and Karen Allen ain't too bad either. Solid 80s score.

Karen Allen and Jeff Bridges have great chemistry, very good Valentines Day movie I think.
