I saw this movie as a kid and I loved it. It stars a child actor with progerian disease as an alien stuck in Aurora. A few children and a crotchety old man become friends with the alien and help him. Its quite cheesy but its a cute little tale with lots of magic.....a true 80's movie.....but definitely one of the cheesiest.

Not A bad movie, bought the VHS version back in the 90's. The late country star Dottie West has a featured role in the film. Dottie's not in it very much, but makes good with the little screen time she's given. It's not a bad little movie, but some of the special effects are kinda hokey. I only recommend this if you are a fan of any of the stars of this film. As a Dottie West fan, I had to have this DVD.

A good history legend made crappy by overzealous hollywood writers. As is typical of most movies from the mid eighties era. The writing is crappy, the actors could just barely pull it off. And who cares about a lil kid with progeria. Id rather have a real life midget in makeup play the alien than the kid with no acting experiance. This all seems like a Make-A-Wish foundation event gone horribly wrong. Dont waste your money!!!!

Almost a sub "B" movie. If I didn't like scifi so much, I would probably give it a one star. It's difficult to try to judge a movie on the character based on the time and electronic wizardary available when the movie was made. The acting is stilted and a little stale. If you think of this movie as a re-enactment of supposed events, it's tolerable.
