beautiful film. As to the usual one, the usual negative comments which talk about a classical film some years 80 which everyone does not like it to the nostalgic ones are met.Sure Heros that this film had to have a judgment in this site. In fact reviewers' good part has put a high vote to the previous episodes. Because this contrast? I know the reason. Since assumptive reviewers' good part favorably sees the past and as the past is "better" than the present they have given several credit to the preceding episodes being still the last episode more explosive and spectacular. At this point should reject also the old episodes but there are here two weights and two measure.In fact also cinema masterpieces have been criticized and denigrated. Good part some reviewers of this site belong to the very bad reviewers. Better think separately with its head.

I think is a sweet, tender and funny movie. Child is wonderful and Bud is genial. Remember scene fishing in the lake. And music is very correct and right. I think is a movie to watch all the family. Greetings from Barcelona

Little Cary Guffey from Spielberg's "Close Encounters" plays here an extra-terrestrial kid who got beamed down on Earth by mistake, and meets with Bud Spencer who, as any good sci-fi cop, doesn't believe the kid and thinks he's only pulling his legs. He will make up his mind pretty quickly, and will side with the little kid, while the army tries everything to snatch the alien. The story offers many standard moments for Bud Spencer's punch-fight trademark scenes, and even if very naive, the story is good for more than a few laughs and a very satisfying ending. The Oliver Onions' sountrack (Guido & Maurizio DeAngelis) doubles the pleasure. It's not Frank Capra, but it's a good movie for the whole family.

This film has all the usual elements of the 'Alien Visitor' format and doesn't tax the viewer, but it is truly memorable in places. I haven't seen this film for a long time, yet I still laugh every time I think about H7-25 with his time reversal gadget, making his pursuers leap in and out of a helicopter. Bud Spencer as the sheriff looks and acts like he should have been in spaghetti westerns, yet this approach works beautifully, especially in the scene where the kid eats his sandwich. This film is just the thing to watch the day after a big night out. Sit back, stop thinking, be amused.
