1/5 Smells like someone passed gas!
  by D. R. South (Milkyway Galaxy, Earth, USA, NY)
Stink-o-rama! This is one of the worst(and unintentionally funny) movies I've seen in quite some time. Gawd! The acting (or lack thereof) was apparent from start to finish. MIB? Hahahahahaha. No way. These guys would have you rolling on the floor instead of running for your life! In short then...if you want a good laugh this movie is for you...otherwise, go to your dentist. Nuff said...

Edit: I decided to watch this movie again and it was worse that the first time (full of laughs though). Save your money!

1/5 Oh my Gawd!

I have seen a couple of movies worse than this one, but only a couple, including Robinson Crusoe On Mars.

Horrific acting, stupid plot, bratty child actor. Cheesy special effects, some of the most hilariously lame fight scenes I have ever seen in my life. It makes spaghetti westerns and amateur porn films look like high art. Dean Stockwell should be ashamed. Guess he needed money.

Rent it first, before even spending $8.99 on it. It might be worth having if you find rubber masked aliens dressed up like the Blues Brothers humorous, and want to listen to a bratty kid continually call his father an idiot, but otherwise, it's a good one to miss.

4/5 Beware the Men in Black
  by Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States)
UFO lore holds that people who have experienced encounters are often visited by mysterious men in black who convince them not to talk about their experiences. While Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones were in a movie that had a lot of fun with this idea, this movie takes the grimmer and darker path.

A family out hiking for a day has an experience with some lights on their way home. They have little or no memory of the experience except disturbing dreams. But as they try to figure out what is going on, they get a visit from the Men in Black. Soon it becomes obvious that they are being watched and are in danger. They turn to a UFO researcher for help.

Family and researcher piece together more of what happened but get targeted by the Men in Black again. In the end we learn more about the Men in Black and who they are but not before some very tense action as the story fully unfolds.

Very well-done with a pretty good cast. The researcher is simplified a little so that the story can unfold in the space of a movie but otherwise it was a tense movie with some chilling moments.

1/5 Is Ed Wood responsible?
  by Derby (Dixie)
I watched this movie today for the first time and I found it
unintentionally hilarious. I can't imagine what Stockwell and
Roberts were thinking when they jumped into this project. The film has the misfortune of being released in the same era as the intentionally hilarious "Men in Black," which steals (and mocks) the thunder from the serious premise of the movie.
One scene in particular had me howling. Six or seven hybrid human/alien MiBs charge a house, and it looks like "Revenge of the Blues Brothers," or something.
I gotta say, I found it riveting for all the wrong reasons.
The acting was horrible, as the actors must have known what
a dog they were in as filming progressed.
Speaking of dogs, Anthrax the Border Collie did a great job.


4/5 Brendon Ryan Barrett Fans...
  by Movieboy (Kentucky, U.S.A.)
One could, in depth, attempt to analyse whatever strengths and weaknesses this movie might have. But alas, its overall value can be adequately measured by simply stating the following credit:

'Brendon Ryan Barrett'.

This adorable young boy, cute raspy voice and all, is an absolute marvel and a joy to watch. Brendon made tuning into 'Soul Man' (a short-lived and otherwise fairly [bad] sitcom in the late '90s, starring Dan Akroyd) seem worthwhile. Among other things, Brendon also did a stand-up job with 'Casper'. Looking forward to a DVD version of The Shadow Men soon.
