One of my co-workers recommended this movie to me because she knows I like sci-fi. This is a kid's movie, and the sci-fi elements are a bit cliche in nature. On the other hand, it is rather funny. It lampoons the UFO-believing crowd with some of the most humorous lines in the film, and Doctor Harlan's shenanigans make me wish he got more screen time. The plot, admittedly, is rather thin to make room for all the chase scenes, but the characters are endearing. The subplot involving the guys going after Jack Bruno could have been scrapped without his characterization suffering, but the teen extraterrestrials were solid all around. Those kids were kind of cool. It's hardly cerebral; it isn't meant to be. However, if you're looking for a little sci-fi fun, this is actually a pretty good choice.
