Very tidy little family piece.

Residents of a building under threat of demolition from developers get an answer to their prayers in the form of tiny mechanical aliens.

Firmly embedded in the trench that houses a number of 80s fantastical alienish pictures, *batteries not included is a bit worn around the edges yet still keeps its head above average waters thanks to its unbreakable charm. There is something so joyous about watching bullies N/A getting a dose of their own medicine, and although the outcome here is never in doubt, it’s still an amiable enough ride that manages to lift the spirit and close the picture out with a big cheesy grin. Boasting the solid Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy in the leads, we are in very safe hands, and it may well say Matthew Robbins name on the directors chair, we are in no doubt that producer Stephen Spielberg has his stamp all over this one.

Safe family viewing, 6/10

I remember seeing this film a long time ago as a kid, however I didn’t like it back then because the old woman in this film annoyed me. It had been years since I had last seen this film and my memory of it was very rusty so I thought I give it a new watch now to refresh my memory, and to see if my opinion of the film has changed.

Unfortunately I still don’t like this film and I wasn’t very impressed with it, to me it felt like it dragged on a bit and became boring, and I still hated the old woman. Like a typical old woman she has dementia (memory loss) but what’s even more jarring is how does she know what the alien robots eat? I think the film could have done with more comedy because there hardly was much in the film, it’s like it could have done with batteries included… Overall it’s not a terrible film but it feels poor and it could have been done a lot better.

This isn’t a Spielberg movie. It’s a live-action Pixar movie!
I must admit, I was a kid when this movie came out, but I never saw it as a kid. I watched it for the first time today–with 20 intervening years since the film came out. And I think that perspective shines a new light into this old chestnut.

If you’ll look at the writing credits, you’ll notice that the head writer is none other than one Brad Bird, who today works for Pixar. *Batteries Not Included might be sappy for a Spielberg flick, but it is right on target for Brad Bird. Rather than comparing it to E.T. or Cocoon, this movie is more properly compared to The Iron Giant and Toy Story–two movies that successfully bring out the humanity in inanimate objects.

If this movie came out in 2007 instead of 1987, you’d probably see a Pixar logo on the trailer. For now, just pretend it’s computer animated and enjoy the show!

An Honest Review
This was a family film in the ’80s and…whatever happened to legit family films? I remember going to the movies to see this and then renting it when it came out on VHS and….my mom liked it as much as I did…and my dad liked it as much as I did.

And as an adult today I still like it for reasons that are not entirely nostalgic…it’s a great movie.

Now I take my nephews to a family film and…I discover it’s a kids film. It deals with purely childish things and…even they are a little bored with them sometimes. Once they grow out of the “paw patrol” stage in life.

“batteries not included” was actually deep enough to hold interests. It had things for children and adults with a theme that both age groups could like…All age groups could like.

You don’t get that anymore, like Hollywood assumes our collective IQ’s have fallen and that anything not made for rugrats will traumatize a child over 5.

Watch it with your family…and then feel horrible about what entertainment has come to
