As weird as the premise of this movie is, it's sweet. The Hendersons are a normal family, enjoying a nice vacation together, when they hit Big Foot with their car. Thinking him dead, they bring him home... Why? Beats me. Something about selling him to a museum. Anyway, it takes more than a Volvo to kill Big Foot, so he's up and raiding the fridge in no time.
John Lithgow is great in this movie as he tries to figure out what's best for his new furry friend and his family. Still to this day, that one scene when he's trying to set Harry free gets me all choked up. Oh, Harry!
