    Moronic isn't the word! This lamentable lampoon starring Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones is a shambling spoof of 2001, Star Wars and Close Encounters, with little wit or wisdom on display. Directed by Mike Hodges, who really should have known better, the pathetic story concerns aliens from the planet Blob crash-landing on Earth and forming a glam-rock band. But the end result wouldn't have made the grade during the Oxbridge duo's student rag week. If sneezing in an astronaut suit, aliens mistaking a dustbin for a human and a spaceship trailing a caravan sound funny, then you may find this miserable farce on the cheap and cheerful side. Otherwise, alas Smith and Jones indeed.

  • Spoofy comedy which, apart from staging a spectacular motorway landing and mocking various popular film genres, never decides where to go.

    I thorougly enjoyed everything I saw so far by Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones. So after finding out about Morons from Outer Space, I was really glad having found something new featuring the two. What a disappointment. None of the black humour their other works showed. It is only boring.

    I usually watch a movie to the end even if I don't like it, but I could not force me to. What a disappointment!
