    A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

    This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

    It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

    This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

    I grew up watching ALF, as I was born in 1980. I was always a fan of the show. Recently I heard the news of a reboot, so the inner child in me came right out with glee. I decided to watch old episodes of Alf, since they had them streaming on my amazon prime app. I forgot how funny ALF actually was. I never really paid attention to the storylines back in the 80s because I was only 7-9 years old. I remembered bits and pieces. I just watched all 4 seasons in 2 days and my ribs hurt so much from laughing so much. Its the one-liners that are hilarious. The writing is tremendous. I happen to be a fan of reboots, especially with shows I grew up watching. I can't wait to see what they do with this ALf reboot. Looking forward! If you haven't watched ALF yet, and were living under a rock all this time, I beg you to watch the show, from beginning. Love ALF!!

    Alf wasn't the best sitcom of the day but it sure was entertaining at times. Alf stands for alien life form or Alf for short. Alf became a hit sitcom series for the time on the network television. The premise is that Alf crashes into the Tanners garage in suburban Los Anfeles, California. The Tanners are your basic middle class family who adopt and protect Alf like a member of their family. Alf is the star and gets into all sort of trouble. Max Wright is perfectly cast as Will Tanner, the social worker, husband and father, who plays straight man to Alf's comedy. Anne Schedeen is perfect as Kate Tanner, the mother and wife. Liz Sheridan was great as nosy neighbor, Racquel. If you want light hearted family entertainment, Alf is for you.

    I remembered when Alf was really big when I was a toddler, but I was too young to remember anything about the show. It wasn't until 2004, when I reprise watching it off of DVD.Alf is about an alien crash landed into a garage roof of the Tanner's residence(a family of 4: husband,wife,daughter, and son). They found and were greeted by the alien, He is a short furry,, long nose creature named Gordon Shumway from the planet Melmac. The Tanner family nicknamed him Alf(Alien Life Form) for short. Alf explained that his planet exploded and has no where to stay. The Tanners who were considered in taking Alf straight to the Alien Task Force, but decided to keep Alf as a member of their own family. And soon their life is flipped upside down with an alien being part of their lives.Throughout the series, Alf gets into trouble, eats a lot, gives out strange behavior, and tries to eat the family cat. We also learn a bit of what he did for a living on Melmac. Including his planet's way of politics,culture, and way of life. The down side is, that since he's an alien he can't go out into public, otherwise, he'll wine up into trouble. So it's important to stay low, and be sure not be noticed.As Alf experiences Earth's way of living, he already gets into the pop culture and junk food there is to offer.Alf is no doubt a brilliant sitcom. And something you won't see for another lifetime. It's funny, it's well written, and the use of a puppet and stage performance making it unique of it's kind in sitcoms. And something the whole family can watch, and I know there's nothing at all inappropriate about Alf. Even though it shows it's age, I think it's entitled to be a cult classic in sitcom history.Those who like the TV series, might consider seeing Project Alf which takes place after the TV show.

    One of the greatest US products made for TV. I really wish I could travel in time back some years so I can regain the endless joy of viewing the series for the first time. The dialog is full of fresh jokes, no sexual offending or humiliating ones like in Friends for example. It reminds me to the classics like Kermit's show or Jack Lemmon's Some like it hot *my absolute top 1 movie of all time* It is so sad that entertainment like this one is never been created, it is not good for the entertainment industry as a whole. But who knows, maybe we're cursed with the ancient Chinese curse "to live in the interesting times" I give it wholeheartedly 10/10 and highly recommend it for viewing/renting/buying the DVDs. I really do hope DVDs will be shipped to Europe soon.
