BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED

BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED
   Film (1987). Amblin/Universal. Executive Prod Steven SPIELBERG. Dir Matthew Robbins, starring Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Frank McCrae, Elizabeth Pena, Michael Carmine. Screenplay Brad Bird, Robbins, Brent Maddock, S.S. Wilson, based on a story by Mick Garris. 106 mins. Colour.
   Originally intended as an episode of the tv series AMAZING STORIES, this film betrays its small-screen origins in its slightness of plot. A run-down rooming house with diner, which occupies land desired by a property speculator, is visited by tiny saucer-shaped aliens, who help out the residents and two elderly owners, eventually (with their new offspring and other saucers) rebuilding the blown-up premises. Escapist fantasy at best, this has no relationship other than the dubious aliens to genuine sf. The novelization is *batteries not included * (1987) by Wayland DREW.
