Details

Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this). As you guessed, it isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant.

Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
dabrahamson-97469 John Lithgow is very good in this, and it's not very often you see him in a family comedy-adventure film. But this movie is a great family gem. Then accidentally hit a Bigfoot with their car while camping then, thinking he's dead, tie him to the roof of their station wagon and take him home, but he wakes up. The family decides to keep him to protect him because he is a gentle creature, but he causes obvious problems for them when others come looking for the creature, and obviously also creates chaos and a lot of damage to the house. Kids and parents will all like this one.
Thanos Karagioras "Harry and the Hendersons" is a family movie in which we watch a family which while it is returning from a hunting trip in the forest its car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear that it was a man, but after they examine the body they find out that it's a "big foot". Thus, they take the body because they think that is dead but it is not and after that big foot becomes a friendly giant.I liked this movie because it is an amusing movie and if you watch it I am sure that you will have a really great time. I also liked this movie because of the simply hilarious interpretation of Kevin Peter Hall who played as Harry. Another good interpretation made by John Lithgow who played as George Henderson and he was very good at it.Lastly I want to tell you that "Harry and the Hendersons" is a funny movie with which you will have a great time and I am sure that if you have children then this movie you just have to watch.
Geeky Randy An unlikely creature touches the hearts of a family in this underrated beauty. John Lithgow, Melinda Dillon and the rest of the cast all fit their characters perfectly. A wonderful chemistry of happy moments, sad moments and funny moments. The conclusion is both heartbreaking and heartwarming — not your typical family-film ending, but too perfect to be rewritten. The beautiful scenery of Washington State and the costume design are also to be admired. Joe Cocker's "Love Lives On" is the perfect song for this film's end credits. Followed by an inferior television series of the same name.**** (out of four)
samcracc I have seen this movie and it was a great movie. Harry the Bigfoot was interesting. Don Amche as Dr. Wallace Wrightwood did perfect. Kevin Peter Hall did a great Harry. Joshua Rudoy as Ernie Hederson was cute. Whats funny that Harry laughs hilarious. Returning from a hunting trip in the forest, the Henderson family's car hits an animal in the road. At first they fear it was a man, but when they examine the "body" they find it's a "Bigfoot". They think it's dead so they decide to take it home (there could be some money in this..). As you guessed, "it" isn't dead. Far from being the ferocious monster they fear "Harry" to be, he's a friendly giant. In their attempts to keep Harry a secret, the Henderson's have to hide him from the authorities and a man, who has made it his goal in life, to catch a "Bigfoot" You will like this movie it is such a great movie.
