I would give this film a 7.0.
This is the kind of film you watch with a big bowl of popcorn.
Stockard Channing is always great and the role of Sally Applegate is played extremely well.
This film should be required viewing for Ed Bundy.
I love the surreal and outrageous humour.
We all seem to be afraid of being invaded by aliens but I do believe that not many of us considered cockroaches even though they may among the few species that survive.
