    Some reviewers will never learn! This is a stupidfest for those who are capable of enjoying it!!!

    !!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!HATRED FOR WANNA-BE CRITICS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!

    I can't understand why someone would even bother to write a bad review for this one. A movie that begins with the title

    " R. I. Diculous presents... an impossible picture........ "

    can't be beaten in any level, except perhaps in its own "genre" of stupid B-films that DON'T take themselves too seriously. This one certainly doesn't.

    So, enough with all your serious reviews and your politically correct opinions. Go and rate some more films to get satisfaction by judging what you wouldn't ever be able to make and leave the review section for us movie lovers!

    This is by no means recommended..... UNLESS you watch along with some friends, a special mood for this type of "humour" and of course....... BEER (or other kind of booze, anyway!) ENJOY!

    Pea-brained would-be sci-fi comedy.

    Even at age 10 I felt like a complete idiot for staying up late to watch this witless little cheesecake-girl sci-fi parody. The goofy, though not especially funny story has two bumbling male leads falling all over themselves in lustful pursuit of some comely moon-cuties. Meanwhile, a couple of lumbering fellows in Danskin tights with potato sacks on their heads(the so-called "Star Creatures" of the title) are wreaking very minor havoc.

    For even aspiring to be as little as lowbrow camp, this is actually a pretty rough ride. If I had seen this at a drive-in in 1963, I surely would have driven my vehicle full-speed through the movie screen in a fit of consternation(or at least demanded my sixty cents back). Perhaps today, as an adult, I'd have a better time with "Invasion of the Star Creatures"(Bacardi 151 in hand, of course...)

    **UPDATE, May 2010** I did indeed revisit this sub-B movie, and as I suspected, it actually IS a more worthy watch today as a tragically dated cultural artifact of sorts. One particular line of dialog is exemplary of this - "...wow...that's the first time a salad ever tossed *ME* !". That one probably brought forth a few weak chuckles in '63...presently, some folks might fall on the floor in hysterics...

    3/10

    Classic!!!

    This movie is on the top of my list for must get a copy of!! My TV tape is long since been worn out. I would love to find a good copy on DVD.

    Many people mentioned the stereotypes and how offensive it is...geez...its kinda the point with this movie. I mean when the alien chick pulls the "kiss? What's kiss?" line, you gotta know they were going for parody city here!

    My favorite thing is the long pauses between dialog with Philbert and the poor mic treatment. It sounds like they had only one boom for a huge room so everyones voices are picked up at different levels...pretty funny.

    I give this one two snaps in Z formation. It is that good!

    Only Two Reason To Watch This Film...

    Gloria Victor and Dolores Reed in space girl costumes.

    I love 50 sci fi, I even love cheesy 50s sci fi, but this film is really, really bad. And not in a MST3K kinda way.

    Virtually unwatchable as a couple of bozos do their best "hip cat" impression of Abott & Costello.

    Chessecake can usually save cheesy sci fi, such as in "Cat Women On The Moon" but it can't in this case. This film requires a mute button and fast forward feature.

    That said, I could watch Gloria and Dolores walk around the space ship for about an hour or so.
