Critics consensus

“Beginning as an offbeat sci-fi adventure, Starman evolves into a surprisingly tender love story, courtesy of Jeff Bridges' disarming performance and John Carpenter's careful direction.”

Beyond his sweet chemistry with Allen, Bridges delivers a physical performance so striking that it won him an Oscar nomination for best actor.

The problems I had with Starman were equally divided between taste and execution.

The screenplay for Starman is comprise of clever situations interrupted by yawning gaps of credibility that might have sunk a film, with lesser parties involved.
