It's like if Sam from Freaks & Geeks was E.T.-style-hiding Charlie from Firestarter, plus a sideplot of a Poltergeist mixed with Alien going on. Works for me!

Meets Indian Jones, meets Goonies, meets Jaws, meets Close Encounters, meets Stand By Me, meets Firestarter and on and on.
The odd thing is I kept forgetting all of those references and just got drawn into the characters stories. Such strong 3 dimensional characters.
