Lou Lumenick New York Post 10/13/2002
1/4
In execution, this clever idea is far less funny than the original, Killers From Space. Go to Full Review
Dave Kehr New York Times 10/11/2002
2/5
It's a gag that's worn a bit thin over the years, though Don't Ask still finds a few chuckles. Go to Full Review

A surprisingly thoughtful social film. Go to Full Review
Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 04/29/2009
An off-beat, hair-brained, and weird spoof of a horrible science fiction flick. Go to Full Review

10/19/2009 A fun concept that doesn't quite work. It does have some amusing moments but too many of the gags just miss the mark. Similar to Woody Allen's earlier What's Up Tiger Lily, but not nearly as successful. See more 10/19/2009 A fun concept that doesn't quite work.

See more 06/28/2009 Even though it is mildly funny and somewhat boring at some parts, anything that makes fun of George W. Bush is good in my book. See more 01/30/2008 Hauser and Miles go for broke, lobbing their every comic idea at the screen. Some work better than others, and overall tomfoolery like this is a matter of taste and not particularly to mine. See more 07/07/2007 I love the military/homosexual/extraterrestrial combo, it's just so fun. See more 01/10/2007 that movie may be good See more Read all reviews
