Well, let me start out by saying that this is one of the best sci-fi flicks of the past 20 years. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper(in his super big time debut) is a distraught construction worker who finds a mysterious pair of glasses. You might ask what do these glasses do, well I will tell you and Piper what they do, they can see aliens disguised as humans, thats what they do, ohhhhh. Well piper is very scared and confused when he finds this out, so he turns to his friend kieth David(his African-American co-worker)for some assistance, but he refuses to try the glasses on, even just for style. So this is where the best part of the movie happens, Piper doesn't like that he won't try them on, so a 62 minute fight scene ensues(keep in mind the movie is only 90 minutes long). You would think this would get boring but the fight is so good, you will be in awe the whole time and if you are a woman you will have to change undies. Finally Kieth tries on the glasses after much convincing and its up to Piper and a new crew of vagabonds to stop the treacherous aliens and find out their sinister plan before its too late.

This movie shows the true dynamic of good vs. evil battle, the good guys led by Rudolph and the Jets vs. the bad guys led by David Naughton(star of Midnight Madness) and his new hip protege Harkin Banks they call themselves the rat pack. Rudi "aka Rudolph" is a mild mannered German who is the best skier in the world, he and the Jets have come to squa valley to try and win the world cup of Skiing. But Harkin the hot shot from Idaho has to come and try and screw it up, and one thing is for sure the rat pack plays dirty. Harkin is a man-whore who cares about no one, he will sleep with anything that moves and when his tornado bait girl finds out about it she turns to the true hearted Rudi to comfort her, but you can't trust white trash and she turns her back on Rudi. Then when Harkin finds out he sabotages the "jets" skis forcing them all to fall. Which only starts a fire under Rudi and his crew to see who is the true champ in the world series of skiing. Now I don't want to ruin anything but the Jets are definitely playing for Keeps.

Well, this movie was good, but not great. Now don't get me wrong there is some top-notch acting between Andrew Lawery and Tracy Lind, but the plot doesn't materialize like some would think. I like the fact that he has to eat flesh, but their isn't enough blood and when he goes to second base I think it would have been better if he had eaten a nipple or something. The rest of the acting is alright, the role of the bully is definitely sub-par (I mean the guy is no, William Zabka), and the role of the best friend is average as well(he is a poor mans, Stiles). But overall the movie has some swell parts and decent laughs. Too-de-Loo
