When I stumbled upon this 1996 TV movie titled "Project: ALF" and seeing that ALF was on the cover, there simply was no doubt about the fact that I had to watch this movie. I actually didn't know that they made a movie with ALF, and I used to watch the TV series on TV when I was a kid and totally loving it.
Writers Tom Patchett and Paul Fusco put together a very enjoyable script for the movie, and I was genuinely entertained throughout the 95 minutes that the movie ran for. And it was a blast from the past, revisiting with everyone's favorite Melmacian after all these years.
And not only did "Project: ALF" have a good and enjoyable storyline, but it also had a great cast ensemble. It was nice to see the likes of William O'Leary and Jensen Daggett in the leading roles, and having support appearances from the likes of Miguel Ferrer, Charles Robinson, Gregory Alan Williams, Ed Begley Jr., Ray Walston and Ray Walston. So you definitely are in the company of good performers here. And of course, the iconic voice of Paul Fusco lending his voice to ALF, that was just a trip down memory lane.
"Project: ALF" is a fun movie to watch for the entire family, but definitely a hilarious movie to sit down and watch for us that grew up watching ALF the TV series.
If you don't know who ALF is, then definitely take the time to sit down and watch "Project: ALF", if you get the chance.
My rating of director Dick Lowry's 1996 TV movie "Project: ALF" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
