I really liked this movie. Jeff Bridges portrays the alien really extremely well, and I totally bought that his character was from a different world. As the movie progressed, I grew to care more and more for the two main leads. The movie tells a compelling story, whilst also incorporating some funny fish out of water scenes too. The only problem I had was that the government subplot was kinda forgettable, but that did not affect the movie as a whole.
Continuity mistake: The note Jenny puts up in the restroom changes; when Starman goes into the bathroom while Jenny is signing the receipt, notice that the postage stamps holding the note to the mirror are now in different positions and the word "help" is smaller. (00:35:55 - 00:36:45)
Jenny Hayden: What's it like up there?
Starman: It is beautiful. Not like this, but it is beautiful. There is only one language, one law, one people. There is no war, no hunger. The strong do not victimize the helpless. We are very civilized, but we have lost something, I think. You are all so much alive, all so different. I will miss the cooks and the singing and the dancing. And the eating! - - And the other things.
