Lou Lumenick New York Post In execution, this clever idea is far less funny than the original, Killers From Space. Rated: 1/4 Oct 13, 2002 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times It's a gag that's worn a bit thin over the years, though Don't Ask still finds a few chuckles. Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2002 Full Review Erin Meister Boston Globe A surprisingly thoughtful social film. Rated: 3/4 Oct 11, 2002 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed An off-beat, hair-brained, and weird spoof of a horrible science fiction flick. Apr 29, 2009 Full Review Jake Euker Filmcritic.com harmless at worst and at best a good time Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 29, 2004 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com ...every once in a while a true rib-tickler will jam into you and wake you up. Rated: 3/5 Feb 13, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I love the military/homosexual/extraterrestrial combo, it's just so fun. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member that movie may be good Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
