“A true classic. This was the first film I ever saw, and it has stayed my favorite for almost 17 years! Obviously, some may hate it, and some may love it, but its one of those films you have to judge for yourself. OK, so, perhaps the storyline is a bit thin, predictable and slightly unbelievable, but, what film isnu0026#39;t? There are more good points than bad (Iu0026#39;m not giving the good ones away, youu0026#39;ll have to see them for yourselves!) It could do with a bit of updating, maybe a newer version could cover up plot holes and dodgy script, but then it would lose all its charm. And Batteries Not Included definitely has charm, bucket-loads!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn my opinion it should be up there with Star Wars and E.T as a cult classic. Itu0026#39;ll make you laugh, cry and hate the bad guy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI definitely recommend it! Go watch it!”
