Melissa M @Lisey May 10 Richard Benjamin doesn't get enough credit as a director. This movie is so offbeat & off the wall. Awesome. love the line the planet is too weird not to study. Celeste is an alien that is accidentally beamed down by Dr mills. She carries a eye talking alien in her purse. She drinks car batteries. And makes a breakfast fit for A king. This movie has a lot of LOL moments. The first time that Celeste & Steven have an afternoon delight. There is literally skyrockets in flight & fireworks. When Celeste goes to the supermarket & tries to pay for the groceries with a giant diamond. When Celeste & Steven try to convince the intergalactical aliens not to destroy the planet by doing Jimmy Durante impersonations. hilarious. This movie is definitely worthy of cult classic status. Just wish that Hollywood just as much of an imagination now as it did then. See more Glenn @Grappler Oct 19 Solid 3 stars. The daughter discovered her father's girlfriend doing strange things and Kim Bassiner had a one-eyed companion, from her plamet, in her purse to give her advice.

I do know Kim Basinger is a deeply talented actress capable of much more serious work. And the film moves too fast for me; it all happens over less than two days. But this was a fun time and a time capsule. I certainly don't regret renting it. I think the poor ratings it receives calls into question how we review films. Is there some sort of standard for good cinema to which we hold every movie that comes out? This movie is meant to be a goofy good time, and it is exactly that. Five out of five stars for a mission accomplished. If I were to view this film through the serious cinematic lens many reviewers seem to take to every single film they encounter, this film is fascinating insofar as it shows us what visions of futurism and technological advancement were like not so long ago. Also, the aesthetics of the 80s -- and in particular that 80s vision of space and the future -- are so interesting, daring, and pleasing.

Kim Basinger is charming, but still it's not nearly enough to warrant this movie a recommendation.
