Yeah, this is the typical "family flick" from the '80s. I first saw "Harry and the Hendersons" between kindergarten and first grade; I'm not sure that I would recommend it for children that young. I saw it again a few years later, and it seemed hokier each progressive time. Needless to say, a major surprise came when I read the cast. Aside from John Lithgow, Melinda Dillon and Don Ameche, there's also Lainie Kazan (the mother in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"), and in a smaller role there's William Frankfather (the albino in "Foul Play"). Director William Dear also has a brief appearance.
Anyway, not a bad movie, but nothing that I would recommend.
And yes it's true, my dad knew co-writer Ezra Rappaport as a teenager. I don't know whether or not Rappaport was involved in the production of another movie after this.
