About
Go for it if you want goofy alien chaos and creature mayhem; Not for you if you dislike slapstick sci-fi, missed the mark comedies like Tremors II: Aftershocks, or prefer sharper humor like The Family Man.
Pros: zany alien creatures; fun Saturday-night vibe; lively cast | Cons: jokes can miss; preposterous science; dated humor
