The story of a cute alien finding both love and his superpowers while on the run from not-so-cute aliens - that's probably the tagline that sold the movie rights. As John, or Number Four, begins to develop his superpowers and realizes the importance of them, he has a great mentor in Henri and friends he learns to trust. When the alien-on-alien action comes to a head there are some intense battle sequences with big monsters, bloody injuries, limbs severed, death, and destruction. On the high school front there's some bullying, a fistfight, some drinking, and a house fire started by teen drinkers. This aliens-on-Earth sci-fi tale focuses as much on high school social life as it does on one good teen alien's fight for survival.
