Project: ALF Ratings & Reviews
- JaredXIII31 December 2024This movie is hilarious! The comedy is quite a but edgier than that of the 80s ALF television show, but still a family-friendly movie, but it will entertain kids & adults alike. It may be a made-for-tv-movie, but it delivers on laughs and is definitely the best movie I've ever seen starring Gordon Shumway.
- Richard21 April 2026I grew up watching the ALF TV series on TV as a kid, and for the longest time I never even knew Project: ALF existed. The show just ended, no real finale, and that was it, so finding out years later that they actually made a TV movie to wrap things up was a surprise. The movie picks up after the series finale, with ALF captured by the government and stuck in a military facility. It has a different tone from the sitcom,no Tanner family, no cozy suburban chaos,but ALF is still ALF: sarcastic, hungry and constantly pushing everyone’s buttons. The humor is broader, the setting is more sci‑fi than livingroom comedy and it feels very much like a 90s TV movie trying to give fans some kind of closure. It’s not the same magic as the original series, but it’s interesting to see ALF in a completely different environment and it finally gives some resolution to the cliffhanger the show left behind. For anyone who grew up with ALF on TV, Project: ALF feels like a strange but nostalgic bonus chapter you never knew you missed.
