Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
On inherent merit, the movie would not warrant such a highly publicized re-release, but this is one of those films that transcends what's on the screen.

rotten:
More than the work of any other filmmaker, Spielberg's output seems uniquely designed to induce in me this queasy false-memory syndrome.
– Don McKellar,
Village Voice,
4 Jun 2007
fresh:
An appealing film this new one is, with some charm, some glee in the childrens' triumphs, some share in their friendship with E.T.
– Stanley Kauffmann,

fresh:
Unchecked goodness has its price, after all, and childhood wonder wouldn't be nearly as sweet if it didn't fade. That may explain the film's appeal. It trapped that feeling, and its sense of possibility, in amber -- then, now, and for any time.
– Keith Phipps,
AV Club,

fresh:
It is the kind of film that young people are going to want to see again immediately after they've seen it.
