Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The setup: Dimwitted Martians drop into a little Illinois town on the day that the local radio station happens to rebroadcast Orson Welles 1938 "War Of The Worlds".The verdict: About as funny as a bad case of syphilis. Some overgrown clowns trying to be silly. I don't know why I watch the movies I do, because I always waste at least three hours a week watching crappy movies. I wasn't really sure if I'd like the movie -- and I certainly did not. Unfortunately, after this movie there were several other movies that tried to capitalize on its success. My final rating stands at 7 out of 10.

I guess people are looking for I don't know what in a movie. The rating for this movie is way too low. This movie is outstandingly funny. The real stars are the alien constructs. The dialog is great and the special effects are pretty good. I love the humorous comments that the aliens make about the enforcer drones and the Naziesque secret police. The towns people are taken aback when they realize that there are aliens among them. The old man and his dog are well rewarded for their efforts when the ship finally manages to lift off. The ship leaves a nutrient rich deposit behind that saves the old man's farm from foreclosure.

I found the memorable quotes searching for video clips; they forgot one of my favorites...Old Person 1: You know, I remember the first time they played that thing. Old Person 2: You remember pterodactyls. Old Person 1: And I can remember you fell for that, hook line and sinker. Old Person 2: Oh, I did not. Old Lady: You did so. You put a big bucket on your head and took off with them army boys to fight Martians. Old Person 2: Ain't you dead yet?

I thought this would be another goofball ET ripoff (like the awful "Nookie"), but it is, instead is light-heartedly enthusiastic, with clever dialog, and a generally don't-take-ourselves-too-seriously attitude that makes this a great late-night (or late-saturday-afternoon) entertainment. Give it a watch! "That's it! Take me to a Government Lab, and cut me into wafer thin sections."
