    Good comedy

    Alf is a good comedy, but it is definitely WAY behind the series, maybe because of the lack of the original characters. They were WAY funnier and the series in general, too. The only funny character of this TV-movie is Alf and the only good part is the first 20 minutes.

    I am a kinda fan of the series, but this one cannot stand up to it at any part of it.

    All in all, I rated this movie 6/10. I recommend it to fans of the series.

    Ten-ner out of Ten

    Very dark. So dark that you suspect there is a motive behind that darkness. And that's good. In 1996, you thought you had it all seen before. Corrupt politicians. Ruthless bureaucrats. Indecent tax collectors. The 90s TV show The X-Files chewed on all those modern abominations. And that's exactly why this Alf Movie feels so extremely dark. Because it's TV predecessor never did. Alf was constantly surrounded by a happy-go-lucky family, borderline-stupid. How do you go from a superficial, joke-absorbing sponge of a family to a CIA that tortures the alien Alf ? Not by accident. It's a reminder that virtually all people are scum. Don't get distracted by their stupidity. If people encounter the tiniest impacts on their meaningless lives, they form groups, groups they have been part of all along really, exclude and harm outsiders, and genuinely cannot tell what's wrong with that. The more reason to stay vigilant, as an outsider like alien Alf. People don't understand that they are ticking time bombs. They won't spill that fact. You have to figure that out for yourself. The Ten-ner's won't. Say-ten won't reveal that. They are always happy because they are stupid. Ten out of ten, at all times. Now imagine this dark movie sequel with an Alf tortured by the CIA didn't exist. It would intentionally mislead the viewer. Not allowed. The movie needed to be funded, no matter what.

    ALF is great the rest is rubbish.

    It is such a shame that person who wrote the lines for ALF didnt write in the same vain for the rest of the cast. The bits that ALF is in are good and are worth watching , especially when he is having the tests. The rest is not worth watching.Kids of the younger age would like this and thats about the best i can say about this film. What on earth was Martin Sheen thinking about when he took on this role? from Apocolypse Now to Project Alf!!!! 6 out of 10

    ALF The Alien In Movie

    I loved this movie, but my friend Tim thought it was unestablished.I thought it was mediocre but well deserving of a replay on ABC in 1996 in July.ALF promoted his movie on ABC's TGIF the night before.I could go on forever, but I won't.

    • Quotes

      [some time after Dr. Warner was electrocuted]

      Dr. Newman: Hello, Alf, I'm Dr. Newman.

      ALF: No need to ask who you're replacing.

      Dr. Newman: We're going to try a little game called numeric sequencing.

      ALF: Does involve electric shock?

      Dr. Newman: Absolutely not.

      ALF: Forgive me if I'm still paranoid, there's still a silhouette burned into the linoleum.
