Editorial Review:
Quite possibly the nadir of Steven Spielberg's career as a producer, this piece of sentimental junk from 1987 concerns five little spacecraft which arrive on Earth just in time to help out some New Yorkers getting kicked out of a tenement. The script's goo just sticks to the viewer, and the cast looks silly by trying not to be silly. You get the feeling that Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment was pretty much throwing stuff at the wall to see what would hang there, and they came up with this ridiculous thing. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Good Light-hearted Fare.
This Movie tugs at my heart cause I had just become separated from my spouse when it came out and I didn't have enough money to pay the electricity but I had a movie voucher for the theater up the street so I was able to retreat there for a few hours of Peace on a snowy day in Memphis.

This movie has a bit of everything in it. Drama, humor and anything else you can think of that delights you. Of course Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy were the best anyway and wouldn't have done anything that they did not consider to be total entertainment. There are too few movies anymore that are of this class. Violence now seems to be all anyone makes anymore. Not the case here. Just wonderful entertainment and something okay for children to watch too.
Rating:  - Enjoyable SF fantasy
I really enjoyed this movie. There is some truly good acting involved in what could have easily been no more than a silly movie. I leaves you with feelings much like those engendered by Anne McCaffery. You're pretty darn sure there are no dragons of Pern, but you really, really wish there were. Well worth the price. Parents and kids (very much including teen-agers) can watch this movie together.
Rating: - Science fiction with heart
Matthew Robbins's *Batteries Not Included is a charming little science-fiction heartwarmer produced by Steven Spielberg. Penned by Mick Garris and with help from Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratatouille), it's the tale of a small tenement's fight for survival against corporate greed. As the opening credits roll to some divine swing courtesy of James Horner, we're shown vintage photographs of New York City and of Frank and Faye Riley (real-life Hollywood power couple Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy), owners ...
