Redundant and unnecessary.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A spaceship stops at an intergalactic fuel station. While the captain's refuelling, one of his idiotic companions plays with the controls and accidentally starts the ship and crashes into the earth. This causes a sensation, and the media celebrates the extraterrestrials, the military interrogates them for eternal wisdom. However soon they recognise that the visitors are not the brightest sparks - although some generals believe it's just a mask.......It's unbelievable that two of the finest comedians of the eighties could write such inane, tiresome, lazy rubbish like this? These are two of the creators of Not The Nine O' Clock news, and were regarded as masters of their art.So the film follows three Aliens, with obvious cultural reference and winking at the general public, saying subliminally 'you'll buy anything the most popular thing on the planet tells you to buy, and I'll get rich from your stupidity'Pretty much life imitating art back in March of 1985.On the other side of the story, we have Mel Smith in his own One Flew Over The Cuckoos nest movie, with even a pseudo chief!!! Oh the hilarity.It's just another worthless British Comedy where famous comedians/Celebrities thought they were so popular, people would flock to see their film.See also The Boys In Blue, Alien Autopsy, Keith Lemon: The Film, and Guest House Paradiso. All utterly appalling, but featuring endearing small screen stars who are bearable in small 30 minute segments.It would have gotten a lower score, but to see Dr Legg from Eastenders shirtless, that's priceless.Otherwise, horrible stuff..

The story is terrible, the acting is poor, the premise is outrageous, and it's still worth watching. If you're not into slapstick or British sense of humor, of course you're not going to like it. Even though I wasn't in love with that particular genre, I still laugh at this every time.It is called "Morons from Outer Space", I don't know why anyone would be surprised when that's what the movie ends up being about. The characters say and do stupid things, because that's who they are supposed to be. Sure, there are cheap laughs, but what is so terrible about that? I wouldn't exactly call it a family film, but for pg-13, you could do a lot worse. I don't recall very many swears apart from one "distinct" one. There is a short moment of full frontal with a dude, however.It's worth giving a shot.

You know, I usually have respect for British comedy such as Monty Python or for British comedy/sci-fi, such as Doctor Who, Red Dwarf or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.I list those because I want to establish a standard for good.This movie didn't have a single laugh in it. Essentially, a spaceship full of slackers crash lands their space ship (which oddly enough, resembles a trailer-home on the inside) in the UK, and an international team of British and bad American stereotypes proceeds to examine them. Hill Street Blues' James B. Sikking plays a CIA officer who delights in torturing the aliens. The aliens escape with the help of a friendly reporter, who turns them into rock stars.Meanwhile, their captain is stranded in space, and is dropped off in Arizona by a gender confused alien. He is confined to a mental institution (bad parody of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" ensue) before catching up with his rock-star comrades in NYC. A spaceship reminiscent of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" arrives and takes them home.The American scenes are poorly done because it is fairly obvious that the producers have never been to America. (The sign on the diner that reads "Chile" being the most glaring example. "Chili" is food, "Chile" is a country.) The Americans are nothing but bad stereotypes, and in many cases, are more alien than the British accented aliens.It's essentially a one-joke movie. The aliens are dumb. The Earth people are dumb. The problem is that they aren't funny.

I remember when MORONS FROM OUTER SPACE it was criticised as being just about the worst British film ever made ! What you mean it`s worse than REMEMBER ME THIS WAY where Gary Glitter plays a tough macho sex god ? I don`t think so .I will say this movie is very patchy mainly down to the small budget and a dual plot , something that`s not seen either very often or very successfully in film script structure . The scenes featuring Bernard are funny especially the " Are you male or female ? " scene but the ones set in England are slightly tedious and do lack a focus .Yeah it`s hard to imagine that the director of this made both GET CARTER and FLASH GORDON but surely any self respecting IMDB addict can sit back and enjoy this movie due to the referrances . Let`s see now THE QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT , a line of dialogue snatched from BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER KWAI , oh what`s that movie with Jack Nicolson in a lunatic asylum ? ....
