Review of *batteries not included (1987) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 05 Mar 2018
Cronyn and Tandy rescue the movie from looking altogether like a retread, and the saucers do their part, too. Designed by Industrial Light & Magic, the visual effects wizards, the saucers swoop and vibrate and blink and purr and even have children, which they assemble out of old toasters and other househood appliances.
"Batteries Not Included" is a sweet, cheerful and funny family entertainment.
