VHS Movie Reviews of Morons From Outer Space [VHS]

Movie Review: Silly, silly fun!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is not a high-brow comedy, but neither is it the typical low-brow stuff being produced today that focuses on bodily functions and groin punches. This is British comedy, which means that it actually has some wit, in between the sight gags. If the comedy of Peter Sellers, the absurdity of Monty Python, and the sheer outlandishness of the Rocky Horror Picture Show appeal at all to you, then this movie will tickle at least one funny bone.

Movie Review: Pretty weak
Summary: 2 Stars

Was looking forward to seeing this with two of my favorite British comedians (Smith and Jones), but this was VERY weak....maybe one genuine laugh throughout. Mostly lackluster comedy will be forgotten minutes after viewing.

Movie Review: Stupid, silly, plotless, yet good.
Summary: 5 Stars

Who needs acting, plot, or great editing in a comedy. Obviously this film doesn't, all it needs is jokes. This is probably to silly for the movie critic, but for all the normal people out there who aren't stuck up about the movies they see, this is a ral treat. A trio of very dense aliens abandons their equally dimwitted pal Bernard and crashes their rented spacecraft in England, where they become pop media icons under the guiding hand of a disgruntled television employee. Bernard eventually finds his way to America, where his claims of interplanetary pedigree land him in an asylum. This satire of science fiction and societal quirks from British television comics Smith and Jones and director Mike Hodges brings us a hilarious yet silly movie that is quite enjoyable. See it!

Movie Review: "HIGHLY INTELLIGENT!?"
Summary: 5 Stars

I laugh all the way to the end of this possible cult-classic english comedy! Mel Smith plays the alien who was left behind and falls into earth. There's a hilarious part occur with him and a trash barrel which he think it's a earthling. The other aliens fall into other mishaps and enjoy "LOOB" beer! and remember it's a pen "P......E....... uhhh....n..n!..

Movie Review: Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this film.
I actually saw it by accident because the video carried on recording all night after I recorded something else and I thought I might as well watch it, after all, the title was pretty amusing. It turns out that so is the rest of the film.
I can't remember a single minute where I was bored, it had me laughing all the way through, especially the moron's reactions when the door falls off their spaceship. Desmond's line then had me giggling all night. It's hilarious when they 'play' chess too.
It's probably not the sort of thing that appeals to everyone, but if you like crazy comedies about beer guzzling morons from another planet then this is the film for you. It's definitely British comedy though, which is different to American comedy and I think funnier, but in a different way.
I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking for a good night in with a few mates and a lot of laughs, but it you're after something in any way serious and thought provoking, look somewhere else. On course if that's what your looking for you wouldn't even be reading up op a film with that title, I hope.

Summary of Morons From Outer Space [VHS]

A trio of very dense aliens abandons their equally dimwitted pal Bernard (coscripter Mel Smith) and crashes their rented spacecraft in England, where they become pop media icons under the guiding hand of a disgruntled television employee (coscripter Griff Rhys Jones). Bernard eventually finds his way to America, where his claims of interplanetary pedigree land him in an asylum. This satire of science fiction and societal quirks from British television comics Smith and Jones and director Mike Hodges (Croupier) generates its biggest laughs early, when the hapless trio is pitted against the British and American military (James B. Sikking appears briefly as a trigger-happy Yank officer). The remainder quickly dissipates into generic slapstick and feeble pokes at media hype, though Smith and fellow U.K. performer Jimmy Nail (as beer-guzzling spaceman Dez) have some strong individual moments. Smith later directed such films as Bean (1997) and High Heels and Low Lifes (2001). --Paul Gaita
