What our
panel of critics thought |
"So that's
what Pierce Brosnan looks like if his head was detached from his body.""Sarah
Jessica, babe, thank goodness they didn't make you cock your leg my dear!""I
know you paid me good money to give my comments on this movie but I got so fed
up I fast forwarded through to the end. The movie is colorful and the special
effects look good at 3 times normal speed.""Yaa,
yaa, yaa, ya yaaa.""Protruding
eyed, pant wearing aliens. My, you look expensive my dears." "Is
this a fetish movie? A woman's body with a dog's head? Call the authorities, or
the kennels, at once!""Tom
Jones, my dear, I hope they paid you well... Was this movie released about the
time 'It's not unusual' reentered the charts again by any chance?" |
Please
tell me the ending.
|
| Plucky,
previously loser type earth characters, kick Martian butts to save planet. Stars
Jack Nicholson as the President, Glenn Close as his wife. Pierce Brosnan, Sarah
Jessica Parker and Michael J Fox. |
What
snack should I eat while watching this movie? |
| Sheep
eyes and sheep brains on unfrozen, floppy, sliced bread. |
If I were
to watch this at home how best should I sit? |
In
the let's have a chat rather than watch this movie position. |
How funny
is this film? |
A very expensive
movie, but not really that funny; more wry than belly laughing (although we did
watch this on fast forward). |
Would
your cat enjoy this movie? Would your dog like it? Other pets? |
| Cats
might possibly like this movie if they enjoy watching humans blasted into skeletons
in bright orangy flame. Dogs
could get upset and wimper annoyingly. Goldfish
could assume a superior air |
What can
I take from this movie to make me a better person? |
Some
movies are better to star in / work on that watch. This is one of them. |
Other comments
|
An
amazingly awful movie, but then again it is pretty much what you might expect.
Superb special effects, an unbelievably A-list cast, but we never care much about
any of the characters. Could do better. Run for the hills. |
