Pearce, Jimmy Nail, James B. Sikking
Rating: 1 out of 10, The latest in my
journey through 100 bad sci fi films was a British comedy about some alien visitors
to earth who are complete idiots. It’s an interesting premise with most sci
films waxing philosophical about the advanced technology any aliens would have
to bring with them. That is certainly not the case here as three complete
buffoons crash land and are immediately lionized despite their complete lack of
discernible intelligence. It’s the Brothers Grimsby meet Close Encounters and
the Brits can’t miss the opportunity to also skewer their standard American
stereotypes. There were some funny moments but it’s a one joke story there
wears out fairly quickly.
MVP: Sikking as the stereotypical
American
