David W A funny, endearing, quirky, alien abduction story which is well acted by the great cast and is surprisingly well made for a TV movie. My wife and I very much enjoyed this. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Audience Member Great cast. Decent first 70 minutes other than many slowly paced scenes that dragged and a general lack of danger or coherence. But the final 20 or so minutes were one unbelievably bad writing contrivance after another. It's like the writers said, "Nothing needs to make any sense. Who cares? It's a silly movie about a UFO landing, right?" Wrong. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member One of those rare great little TV movies that has just enough punch to make it a cult classic. Had then been a theatrical release I believe it would have been a cult classic. Like any good movie, it's all about the acting. The story is simple. Is the evidence that aliens have visited the earth real or fake. The combination of a silly...bizarre silly, not stupid silly...storyline and class A acting make this a wonderful sit back, grab some popcorn and a soft drink kind of movie. If you ever get a chance to see it and you like goofy comedy, you will not be dissappinted. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
