I was disappointed in this film, it's basically a movie about old folks who come from another palnet to visit earth and act like kids. I suppose a movie about old folks acting young is one thing but what does that have to do with outer space. I guess the point is that earths old folks need space aliens to start acting and feeling young?
Viewer Reviews After seeing Cocoon and finding out there is a sequel I wanted to check this one out. Normally, I find sequels are never as good as the originals but in some ways this is just as good and even better. It works because all of the original cast is back- Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn, Don Ameche and the whole gang. They come back to earth and visit family and friends because some scientists from the oceanography insitute capture one of the aliens and they have to get him back. Some of the memorable plots are when Bernie is set up with a woman as he struggles to deal with losing Rose. In some ways it is funny and quite poignant as he deals with his new romance. The scene that gets a lot of laughs is when the men take on some young, arrogant guys in a game of basketball. The most memorable scene in the movie is between Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. She takes a job taking care of children and when one runs out into the street she pushes him out of the way when she realizes he is about to be hit by a car and is hit instead. The scene at the hospital were Joe (Cronyn) sacrifices his life to save Alma (Tandy) makes me cry. It is so moving and touching! Not to spoil the movie but some of the gang stay and others leave. A very good little gem of a movie with a lot of heart!
