...an exceedingly hit-and-miss comedy that fares best in its affable and easygoing opening stretch...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 28, 2022

The science in the film may be imaginary, the premise ridiculous, the escalation toward the conclusion absurdly exponential, yet it's difficult to not be charmed by it. In the parlance of the modern era, the film understood the assignment.

A limp comedy that could easily have been tagged E.T. The Extremely Tedious.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 26, 2021

interesting as a time capsule of a rather conservative brand of '80s excess, and as a gender-switched companion piece to Earth Girls Are Easy. But on its own merits, it is what it is: a committee-written, dumb-assed mess, less amusing than alienating

Akroyd and Basinger give the film an infectious stroke of energy, and by the end we continue to smile even as we are exhausted under the weight of endless nonsense.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2015

A failed attempt to mix many of the film genres associated with the 'alien' idea into a sprightly romp.

The film offers several entertaining sequences, but Splash it ain't, for while that film took a similar scenario and beautifully conveyed romantic notions of innocence, this is marred by cruel and juvenile gags.

Unlike the screenwriters, who often cross the thin line between wit and silliness as they outline Celeste's neo-''I Love Lucy''-isms, Miss Basinger reveals unfailingly sound instincts for comedy.

Harmless.
