The surprise in the cast is Seann William Scott, breaking out of teen movies and carrying his comedic weight most excellently.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 7, 2023

The kind of mid-budget science fiction comedy they just don't seem to make enough of any more.

The third act, in which the story reaches its climax, staggers woefully and generally makes a terrible mess of what was up to that point a generally enjoyable throwaway confection.

Part of the problem with "Evolution" -- aside from the fact that it isn't really very funny -- is that it's mostly jaded; there's very little gee-whiz, almost no awe.

If this is the level that movies have 'evolved' to, we're in trouble.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 4, 2006

Paying homage to his previous and better work, Reitman's new comedy is marked by one-idea story, sporadic humor that lacks wit, and cheesy special effects.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 24, 2006

It has been said many times that there are no new ideas in Hollywood.

EVOLUTION is like a chemistry set experiment that could have gone horribly awry, but turns out just right . . . Duchovny and Jones have great buddy movie chemistry
