There is a reason why classic Ghostbusters is a classic and new Ghostbusters sucks big time. A good actor would try to relate with the emotion he is trying to represent and act according to the situation, so the public can relate to the characters; this way, if they were good actors they would not base their acting in clichés and situations that have no reason to be, like using eyeglasses with duct tape or covering the eyes to represent he is an idiot; that only shows the actor is an idiot in real life.

Galaxy Quest has them both. In an aniversary interview the writer is clearly upset when asked about the way the aliens talk and walk. The original script had the aliens passing as normal akward humans, but it turns out the actor that plays Mathesar got creative and it seems that if they did not talked like that or walked like that, they were not akward enough and they could not have passed as nerdy people in a convention; the result is something nobody can relate to, since nobody acts like that in real life. Luckily the script was good, there were good actors other than that and there is goog CGI, or it would have been a mess because an actor that did not know how to act the part, and a director green lightning that. Making that aside, is a movie to watch and enjoy in a lazy weekend
