*** This review may contain spoilers ***

A race of bug-eyed, bald-headed, green-skinned extraterrestrials plan on attacking Sacramento, California. After one of their number gets arrested for driving a car without a license, the other aliens immediately apply for driver's licenses at the DMV. The nefarious Martians then start aggressively campaigning for Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Governor of California because he portrayed the lead in "The Teriminator" and hence should be sympathetic to their cause. Alas, the bumbling would-be invaders' plan backfires when Arnold comes out against illegal aliens in California. Undaunted, the aliens decide to get Michael Jackson elected as President of the United States. Director/co-writer Anthony Shafer whips up a hilariously goofy romp which zips along at a constant snappy pace and delivers a fair share of solid belly laughs (keep your eyes peeled for an inspired cameo appearance by Jar-Jar Binks!). The aliens and their wacky antics are quite funny in an admittedly dopey sort of way and the tone is downright infectious in its giddy silliness. The cinematography by Larry Huntington, Kraig Jorgensen, and Ted Robb gives the film a nice polished look while Terry Huntington's suitably cornball and lively score hits the zany spot. An enjoyably inane hoot.
