Some slow and vulgar moments aside, it's a minor treat for viewers who don't mind keeping their expectations low. [11 Oct 1985, p.25]
The gags just aren't very funny, relying overmuch on the usual British understatement...Morons From Outer Space has, by my count, eight laughs (which works out to 62 cents a laugh). [21 Nov 1985, p.C16]
From time to time, a movie comes along that is so unconventional, so
weird, so flagrantly negligent of mainstream taste that it will develop a
loyal cult following--"The Rocky Horror Picture Show," now celebrating its
10th profit-filled anniversary, being a good example. This is the kind of
movie the makers of "Morons From Outer Space" set out to produce, but failed
to deliver. But who knows? In Britain, they may eat this stuff up. [12 Nov 1985, p.C5]
