Editorial Review:
In this charming, funny and very moving sequel to the hit film "Cocoon," the adventurous old-timers who left Earth for the alien utopia Antarea, return on a rescue mission. Although accustomed to their new peaceful, problem-free planet, they realize the joys they left behind after they are reunited with their stunned families. Yet for all their happiness, they must once again confront the human frailties of their past.
Cocoon - The Return Reviews:
Movie Review "Cocoon - the Return" 
2009-07-13 - This sequel to the touching film Cocoon is pretty weak in comparison. For those who bought and enjoyed the original Cocoon, this is a "must have" for your video collection. Although the original concept is picked up in this sequel, it just lacks the charm and "warm fuzzies" we all need, from time-to-time. I would not cut off my arm for this film, but for Cocoon fans, it's worth buying/renting and viewing.
Cocoon - The Return 
2009-03-13 - Got this so we could follow the story. It was fun watching but felt it did not have the zip of the original movie. It is great to see older actors/actresses in movies that can really act and tell a story and not just get by their youthful looks that is so prevalent these days.
Cocoon The Return- great sequel
2008-12-08 - After seeing Cocoon and finding out there is a sequel I wanted to check this one out. Normally, I find sequels are never as good as the originals but in some ways this is just as good and even better. It works because all of the original cast is back- Jessica Tandy, Hume Cronyn, Don Ameche and the whole gang. They come back to earth and visit family and friends because some scientists from the oceanography insitute capture one of the aliens and they have to get him back. Some of the memorable plots are when Bernie is set up with a woman as he struggles to deal with losing Rose. In some ways it is funny and quite poignant as he deals with his new romance. The scene that gets a lot of laughs is when the men take on some young, arrogant guys in a game of basketball. The most memorable scene in the movie is between Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. She takes a job taking care of children and when one runs out into the street she pushes him out of the way when she realizes he is about to be hit by a car and is hit instead. The scene at the hospital were Joe (Cronyn) sacrifices his life to save Alma (Tandy) makes me cry. It is so moving and touching! Not to spoil the movie but some of the gang stay and others leave. A very good little gem of a movie with a lot of heart!
silly 
2008-02-26 - I was disappointed in this film, it's basically a movie about old folks who come from another palnet to visit earth and act like kids. I suppose a movie about old folks acting young is one thing but what does that have to do with outer space. I guess the point is that earths old folks need space aliens to start acting and feeling young?
Lacks the spirit and magic of first movie 
2008-01-08 - I was disappointed in this movie. I feel it just doesn't compare. It was lame.
