Classic film, I think the message will always be pertinent as to bridging divisions between cultures through mutual efforts at comprehension. Cheesy as hell in places, though that adds to it in a way, in the respect that it lends a bit of human error and hence humanity to the proceedings. I'd like to see more films like…

I saw it years ago, and clearly remember being bored to distraction. It's based on a novella by Barry Longyear, who is flabbergasted that anyone likes the movie.

Your days are your sonnets.

It's one of those movies that's so bad that you love it.

It was watchable and wasn't totally up it's own hole, which helped.
