Mamma, io vengo da un altro pianeta

Is a really weird movie. But you already knew that. What you didn't know is that it is extremely mediocre and mildly entertaining.

When I was a child, only at the age of 8 I woke up in a cold sweat while this movie was playing. Traumatic if I do say. I only saw the last 30 minutes of this movie but I had nightmares for the next two years. All I could remember about this movie was the aliens. Everyone thought I was lying, making things up, and after a while I did too. "It must of been a weird dream that suck with me." is what I thought. Oh was I so wrong. Fast forward ten years, I have not stopped thinking about this movie, my every waking moment, every time someone brings up the Critters franchise I have to relish in the fact that its not the movie that has been haunting my thoughts for twelve years.

I finally found this stupid movie, my character arch is over, I can finally rest.

Also. Mike is literally the definition of an incel and does NOT deserve Katelyn lmao.

I am trying so hard to finish this movie to give it a fair chance, but this is extremely painful. I am trying to watch all the old Disney channel original movies and I had never heard of this one before. I was excited for a moment because I like Erika Christiansen from Parenthood and the kid that plays his friend from some episodes of Gilmore girls but the excitement ends there. All the "aliens"? Are SUPER ANNOYING!! Their voices are annoying and several of them are super disturbing to even look at with their too realistic eyes and mouths attached to weird puppety bodies. Please don't waste your time like I did!

I think this movie is funny. It is a quirky concept for a movie but it's one that kids will enjoy. I saw it for the first time when I was probably 10 on Disney channel. I thought it was great. I still do. It is a kids movie and kids get it. I love it. Sure the acting isn't the best, but hey, its for KIDS. They don't care. They'll love the weird aliens. It's just a good kids movie. Kids like to create stories which don't make sense to anyone but themselves. This movie is just like that. It makes sense to kids and anyone who understands kids. You just need to watch it and not try to think to hard. Just take it as it is, enjoy the randomness. Love the aliens. My favorite is the dog. But that's just me. Kids will like it.

I watched this movie because my favourite actor, Malcolm McDowell does a voice of one of the aliens. I was not very impressed with the story. Young children might find it entertaining for as long as it lasts, but it's not very memorable. The aliens aren't too bad, but the other effects, at the dance and the main character's supposedly high-tech equipment are pretty cheesy. The movie moves very slowly and it takes most of the movie for the premise to set in. If they had either started the movie about half way through and made a bigger deal about the adventure on the other planet, or gone in a totally different direction from the midway point, the movie might have been redeemable. However, it's not. All the characters are pretty shallow. The main character can't seem to decide if he is or isn't an alien. The bully character goes along with their plans just because he is dared which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Anyway, it's a shallow movie.
