This 1987 little sentimental ditty was utterly irresistible to the public, even as
critics panned it as too schmaltzy. It concerns a squadron of little UFOs who
arrive on the room of a NY apartment building, one which is about to be razed
as soon as the owners can manage to evict the quirky bunch of tenants. The tenants
include Hume Cronin and Jessica Tandy (always and forever a winning pair) as well
as a guy who plays a mentally (or emotionally - or maybe both) disabled man who
speaks only in set phrases from commercials or TV jingles or product tags, such
as that of the title: Batteries Not Included. As the tenants band together to save
the lives of the little aliens, including a spine-tingling scene in which one gives birth,
the aliens come to the rescue of the folks in danger of eviction - and the tenants,
previously a disparate bunch, come together to form a community.Heartwarming.
Great family entertainment
