A very enjoyable and humorous movie set on the theme of "Alien invasion with a twist", the movie displays both imagination and self-irony, and the acting is for the most part of good quality. The movie manages to let the suspense buildA very enjoyable and humorous movie set on the theme of "Alien invasion with a twist", the movie displays both imagination and self-irony, and the acting is for the most part of good quality. The movie manages to let the suspense build nicely, until it explodes and gets defused with what I see as a thoroughly self-ironic nod to product placement.

It's not a work of genius, but it is worth a look-see if you enjoy humorous alien invasions and hopeless heroes forced to try to "save the world". A solid 7.

Very good sf comedy movie. Humor is casual and well made unlike many other comedy films who pushed too hard and created opposite effect. Also very good porformance by all actors.

Definitely flexes it's comedic brawn rather than it's brain. There are a lot of laugh out loud moments throughout, and the special effects have aged surprisingly well. It's the type of film that doesn't take itself too seriously. While thatDefinitely flexes it's comedic brawn rather than it's brain.

While that may not fair too well for the plot, it definitely keeps things entertaining throughout. A solid, if not particularly brainy comedy. Expand

Evolution light Sci-Fi comedy. Here the whole plot is written to simplify life for the main characters, all conventions are violated every minute, all only for the sake of humor, which is really good here.

Here the whole plot is written to simplify life for the main characters, all conventions are violated every minute, all only for the sake of humor, which is really good here. It is worth noting the comedic role played by Julianne Moore. And although the graphics for Sci-Fi are terrible, you get the fun from the film completely. I advise everyone to view. Expand

One of the most entertaining movies that will keep you laughing! We need this in our lives sometimes, just to laugh and not be so serious. This movie will do that. Ca-Caw, Ca-Caw. Just sit back and enjoy it, we dont have to criticize everything!

It looked fine. The effects all looked convincing, the camera movement was good Hollywood and the clarity was good. I watched in stereo and it sounded good. Well balanced and crisp.

I watched in stereo and it sounded good. Well balanced and crisp. The sound effects were slightly comedic and that suited perfectly. This is pure mind-relaxing cheese. It is a fun ride without being too memorable. It is pretty funny too. Not as good as Ghostbusters (1984). A fluffy journey that will make you smile but the memory won't last. Expand
