This movie is billed as a parody of 50's invasion flicks, but I would much rather watch any of those than sit through this incomprehsible mess any day.

I endured this movie throughout its duration in the hopes that there would be some redeeming feature, but that feature never came.

Despite a star-studded cast ranging from Jack Nicholson and Glenn Close to Michael J. Fox and Pierce Brosnan, performances are very lackluster. Natalie Portman is wasted, as is every other member of the cast.

Perhaps there is some aspect of this movie that escaped me, but I can't think of any reason why anyone should see it.
