- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Clever, exciting, and fun, The Last Starfighter boasts good performances by Guest and Preston, and a literate, funny script"
-
"At once warmly earthbound and nobly starstruck, it should give receptive spectators a savory pick-me-up"
-
"Though it is occasionally talky, and though its plot takes a while to crank up, The Last Starfighter, directed by Nick Castle, is more often than not good-humored, bent on action and even touching"
-
"Director Castle has studied his Spielberg well. While the movie may be composed of borrowed parts, it remains bouncy and good-natured throughout. Guest has charm and a deft comic touch, and Stewart is lovely"
