Harry is hairy and big, but very cute!
11 June 2008
I couldn't sleep last night and browsed through Comcast On Demand to find a cute comedy and saw HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS! I don't think I'd seen the film since the late 1980s.

It was released in 1987 and I don't recall seeing it in the theater, but I digress.

Harry is a hairy behemoth of the Sasquatch genus. A Bigfoot. What kid wouldn't want a pet Bigfoot of his own? What adult wouldn't? But Harry is no pet. He's an adopted member of Seattle's Henderson family, eating goldfish and plants, burying stuffed deer heads and mink coats, and relaxing in front of the TV while laughing at re-runs of "The Addams Family." He wasn't always in the family. Mr. Henderson had almost run him (it?) over in the road, brought him home, and cared for the big guy.

All good things must come to an end, and the Hendersons eventually must choose if Harry remains with their family or if he should be driven back to the wild.

Watch the movie for mindless entertainment and you won't be disappointed!!
