From Joe Dante (Gremlins) comes a cute, fun, science fantasy about a three kids who are given the key to interplanetary travel. After some local mischief, the three (a street-kid, a sf-type, and a student brainiac) head off to discover the answers to life, the universe, and everything from an unseen all-knowing alien race. What they expect is far from what they find. I liked it, but I'm not sure it's worth the $5-$6 that most of the bigger theaters normally ask. I give it a 7 out of 10. Good family fare. Looks like they are already thinking-up the script to EXPLORERS II. "Tell them what they've won! - It's a BRAND NEW CAR!!" -- Wak
