Possibly the worst movie ever

I bought this movie on DVD for $4.99 and still felt that I overpaid. Writer/director/actor Bruce Kimmel obviously owes his career to the fact that people bankroll his projects. Not even Patrick Macnee can save this film from a miserably vapid plot. Don't get me wrong, I love camp. I even own "Andy Warhol's Blood for Dracula" and consider it necessary viewing! But this is not camp -- it's just crap. :)

Hilarious

This movie is an extremely warped parody of ALIEN and musicals in general. It's also very funny and generally weird. The talent contest sequence where they find out exactly how their meals are prepared is nothing short of brilliant,as is the DIRTY HARRY movie parody. ("This picture is rated morally objectionable for everyone...")From beginning to end,it's a unique film that deserves to be seen. Bruce

Kimmel went on to idea man for the underrated THE FACULTY.

A film in that netherworld between tediously bad and entertainingly bad

The title suggests this was supposed to be in the same spirit as The Naked Gun, but the only similarity is Leslie Nielson. Drastically unfunny, even when it is technically bad. It drags like a rainy Boxing day. The sets are straight out of a 60's TV Sci-fi soap, the songs excruciatingly dull (and badly sung) and the the only suspense is how they got the money to make this low-point of Nielson's career.

Go and see a good film, like Plan 9, or Robot Monster! If you want to see a good film in the same genre (and budget) try Dark Star. Its beach ball monster shames the rubber beast in this film right back to Toyo studios.

The WORST movie ever

I am absolutely astonished that this movie ever got made, much less released. It isn't self mocking enough to make you think they were trying to be bad on purpose...Leslie Nielsen is great at that and while they all did their best...they had nothing to work with. I figure the stars must've owed someone a favor. This movie sucks! Zero positive points...Just awful! If you don't believe me, watch it...but I warned you!

While the movie was terrible, there is one GREAT moment!

This has to be one of the lamest movies ever produced, despite the promise of a winning cast (Cindy Williams, Leslie Neilsen). However, if you can stick it out to about the middle of the film, you will find the cream filling inside the stale cupcake - a memorable song by a forgettable alien. I can still get my husband to throw things at me when I sing the first bar of that song...
