\"Gremlins\" is about how to care for your pet, even if that pet is a Gremlin name Gizmo. He is a gremlin who came into a family household and before long all hell breaks loose, and it\'s on Christmas Eve. The villain Gremlins are real big and mean. and they can wreck havoc the tow. That wouldn\'t happen if they didn\'t feed them after midnight. Some critics has come upon \"Gremlins\" as a demented \"It\'s a Wonderful Life.\" But I would to see this movie stand on it\'s own. The movie is protested because the violence is little above the standreds of a PG movie. That led to the birth of the PG-13 rating. the best thing about \"Gremlins\" is Gizmo. He\'s the coolest gremlin in the movie.

It probably doesn't stand up to the test of time well, but for those of us who were of movie-going age in 1984, this movie is still enjoyable. It does tend to be a little scary for some but the comedy provides a nice balance that most can appreciate.
