"The oscar winning movie Harry and the Hendersons". Simply love the fact that this movie promotes itself as an oscar winner. It DID win an oscar, nothing wrong there, but it was in make-up a category with only one other nominee. That's like calling yourself a doctor when you have a doctorate. You ARE a doctor, but people are going to be a bit upset, when you try to give them enamas. Long story short. This IS an oscar winning movie, but come on people it's not like it's an oscar winning movie!

No one can say John Lithgow isn't committed to his roles. The fact that he was never allowed a proper follow up to this where he's the fish out of water, Henderson and the Harry's, is a crime that few fully understand the ramifications of.

Watching this dumb movie inspires the same sort of wonder in the viewer that has kept believers looking for bigfoot through the ages... Where did it come from? Why is it here? Did I actually see it? How does this exist? DOES IT exist? Was 1987 the PERFECT time for a movie like Harry and The Hendersons to be made? How much of pop culture is influenced by this movie? **Bonus points for the timely criticism of Ronald Reagan.** Fine, but overly long. Would have worked better at a cool 90 minutes.

It's even funnier if you consider that Harry the Bigfoot has Down Syndrome.

I'm basing this ENTIRELY on nostalgia since I haven't seen it in about 15 years. One of my childhood favorites.

It is difficult to speak bad, because when I was a child, was cool. But nor is it a good movie to see today.

Every close up of Harry is priceless. And the music video during the credits is amazing.

A family film and not much more. It was good when I was 15, but I probably wouldn't like it now.

They should have backed over him again to ensure his death! It's good 'ol fashion family fun to kill a mythological beast. Cryptozoologists around the world would weep for days!

Funny movie. i wouldn't admit to enjoying parts of it in public, but yeah, I did enjoy some of it. I certainly wouldn't recommend you watch it, but if you need to watch something with a kid and are too uptight for the violence, sex, and vulgarity that is standard today. Watch this!

Family Bigfoot movie that has aged quite terribly. Overall it's pretty cringe-worthy and has the feel of something made for TV.

Not a bad movie, just boring. Though I guess that's what one should expect from a movie claiming to be a comedy, but instead being more of a kids monster rampage.

Truly, something this bizarre could only come out of the 80s and the age of Alf. Even as little later as the early 90s this wouldn’t fly at all.

Has its heart in the right place, but the biggest heart in the world couldn't compensate for odd, lurching pacing; a rushed, tonally uncertain first act becomes a second, third AND fourth act that drags the story long past its natural climax. Cut out Kazan and Suchet, and patch the mid-section escape together with the finale and you've got a better film, though this wouldn't resolve the dire lack of tension in the situation. As a triumph of make-up and costuming, Harry is an unqualified success.
