User Reviews

Some people just aren't funny.

This is a very low-budget, cheesy, sci-fi / horror / comedy flick about aliens who disguise themselves as preachers and try to take over the world while another alien, disguised as a hot girl, tries to stop them with the help of two bumbling idiots. And it's all set in hillbilly country. I love the whole idea of this thing!

This movie would be a lot more fun if ANY of its attempts at humor were funny. The jokes in this thing are unending and horrible. It's like trying to watch a wannabe comedian on amateur night bomb without realizing how bad they are so they just keep going - for an hour and a half.

I liked the concept of the whole thing and overall story. I liked the music, I liked the babes, and I liked almost all of the oddball characters who weren't the leads. Sure the effects were cheesy, but I even liked them. I also got the sense that this was a local production that had a lot of support from the community and even included them in many places to great effect. Awesome. But the comedic lead's performance in this thing is just too painful to watch.

It's worth a watch if you like B-movies. And who knows? You might even like it. I'm glad I saw it, actually. I just never want to see it again.
