I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The makers of this movie were obviously ambitious enough to get it filmed on a shoestring budget, without the shoe and without the string. It also looks like they used a lot of amateur actors, or just local townspeople.But what the filmmakers had going for them were numerous humorous ideas, that are witty enough that they transcend the cheapness of the movie itself.I think this movie is what a film by John Landis, Jim Abrams and the Zuckers would have looked like if they were in college and had no money to make it. And that's part of this movie's charm. Like their bigger budget movies, this film is a parody. And it works.One really clever idea that's ongoing in the film -- most of the movie is in black & white, but switches to color every time there is gratuitous nudity or violence, then switches back to black & white. Also, some of the bad acting appears to be intentional, as a send-up to many of the old black & white sci-fi movies of the 50's.Perhaps I'm giving the filmmakers too much credit, but I think they knew exactly what they wanted to make, but didn't have the resources to get it just right. But it is still enjoyable. Too bad it is impossible to find.

This is one of those movies where its the stupidity that makes it so funny. I have never laughed harder. The casting was great and you could definitely feel the comraderie between the actors. I do refuse to comment on the acting styles of any of the actors, however.If you are looking for a great movie to watch when you are totally bored, this is the one. Just make sure you've had a few Leinie's before viewing.Rock on Howard!!

My husband and I rank this as one of our favorite movies. It has a lot of bits that we enjoy seeing over, like the doctor whose answer to everything is to take X-rays (a couple-a-hunnert, and the "mime hands" sprouting out of the ground as the evil alien crop experiment fails.The police chief's bad acting is a triumph. It must have taken incredible concentration!If you enjoy laughing at stupid or silly movies, you will love this one. And I'm not being sarcastic!

My son and I consider this one of the funniest movies ever made.It's an extremely low budget zombie/space movie - with ludicrous performances and effects (I hesitate to call them "special!) and an outrageously hilarious script. It is the product of the cinema delivered to the truly irrational. Case in point - in the midst of this black and white sci-fi oddity there's a several minute long totally gratuitous color sequence with a somewhat comely woman flat out nude walking around in an office setting. Why? Why ask?If you EVER EVER see this on a video store shelf - shell out the money and watch it!
