Critics

Audience

After a furry alien crashes into a family’s garage, the household secretly takes him in and tries to protect him from discovery. His wisecracks, unusual habits, and constant appetite create everyday chaos, while the family gradually adjusts to having an unexpected extraterrestrial living with them.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like warm, silly family sitcoms, eccentric outsiders, and nostalgic 1980s humor; Not for you if you prefer modern pacing, subtle comedy, or consistently realistic stories.
