Storyline

When some aliens, who travel from planet to planet to see what kind of species inhabit them, come to Earth. And if they are, according to their standards, decent, they are welcomed to be their friend. And if not the planet is destroyed. To find out they choose one inhabitant and give that person the power to do whatever he/she wants. And they choose Neil Clarke, a teacher who teaches the special kids. He is constantly being berated by the headmaster and is attracted to his neighbor, Catherine but doesn't have the guts to approach her. But now he can do anything he wants but has to be careful.

Trivia

The first film since The Meaning of Life (1983) to feature all five surviving members of Monty Python. According to director Terry Jones, this will probably be the last time they will appear in a film together. See more »

Goofs

The human skeleton that lands at the feet of the headmaster after coming to life and jumping through the window is obviously not the same one that was used in the classroom scene. When the headmaster holds it the joints are obviously molded, and it appears to have no weight. It is obviously a lightweight plastic model. See more »

Quotes

Neil Clarke: I'm not going to give you a biscuit until you answer my question!
Dennis: Biscuits! Bread biscuits, black biscuits!
Neil Clarke: Is that all you think about?
Dennis: Nothing else matters! Biscuits, please!
Neil Clarke: Dennis, become a rational thinking creature!
Dennis: Look, I just can't concentrate on anything till I've had one of those biscuits! I know it's crazy, but that's how it is. I guess I'm kinda hooked on them. So please, give me just one biscuit, and I'll be able to think about something else!
Neil Clarke: That makes sense.

Definitely not "Hot Fuzz"....
26 March 2016 | by (New Hampshire) – See all my reviews

There's a line in Simon Pegg's show "Spaced" in which his neighbor Brian asks him for advice on the clothes he's wearing. Brian asks, "Should I lose the waistcoat?", and Tim (played by Simon Pegg) goes, "You should burn it. Because if you lose it, you might find it again".

Well...This movie is the waistcoat. If you're watching it as a an avid Simon Pegg fan and are expecting something on par with "Shaun of the Dead" or "Hot Fuzz"; Don't. It's very silly, and I don't say that affectionately. None of the strange twists or adult moments are enough to pull it from the wreckage of its mediocrity, and none of the characters are even remotely memorable (except maybe Dennis the Dog...RIP Robin Williams). All-in-all, it's not a movie I'd watch again and I certainly wouldn't recommend it. Which is why I'm leaving such a dull and plain review. It's no bueno!
