Slapstick (Of Another Kind)

Aliens posess the bodies of two children in this spoof of "Close Encounters", "2001", et. al. This is not the BEST parody film, but one of the better ones. Kurt's novel is rather poignant in places and is captured in the film rather well. Worth renting if you are a Lewis, Vonnegut, or Kahn Fan!

With two very talented comedic actors Jerry Lewis & Madeline Kahn you would expect a hilarious movie. Unfortunately this is not the case. Not a funny moment. Very hard to sit through the entire movie. Tries as I may, I could not find a redeeming feature. I bought the DVD for $2.00; and after seeing the movie, I feel that I paid too much. Really not worth watching.

. . . it will do until that one comes along. A complete botch job in every conceivable aspect. Lewis mugs more than usual-- a stupendous accomplishment-- and the movie looks so cheap it gives "cheesy" a bad name. How a major talent like Madeline Kahn got roped into doing this steaming pile is beyond me; I guess she must have needed to pay some bills since that would be the only even remotely logical explanation. I've emitted beer farts that weren't as rancid as this mess is. A total misfire, embarrassing to watch, maddening to think that they actually were able to find the $4.19 it cost to make this thing. Avoid at all costs.

I had to see this movie because I had no choice. I was taking a trip in a bus and they put this movie on the bus's TV. I never get asleep on a bus specially when there's a movie playing but in this case I better tried to sleep because I couldn't stand watching this movie. The worst movie I've ever seen. I got headache and felt dizzy when it finished.

I got this movie really cheap at blockbuster and we watched it a few years ago. REALLY BAD! When I first saw this movie I thought it was the worst movie possible. Not only was the acting and the story and the jokes HORRIBLE but it gave me a headache to watch. I have not read the book and supposedly that is good, I don't see how it could be with a story like that though. There was nothing good about this movie. I rate it a 1 out of 10. I don't see how it is possible to make a movie like this and believe that in any way it will be successful or even entertaining. I cant even imagine how people were at the premier of this movie.

Wretched. Kurt Vonnegut's very funny novel translates to a miserable movie and a very excruciating viewing experience. Is it the casting of Jerry Lewis and Madeline Kahn in dual roles? They've both been hung out to dry in this insipid venture. A real case of the un-filmable being filmed (and the results are dire). The supporting cast is a half-hearted assemblage of talent that should know better: Jim Backus; Pat Morita; the voice of Orson Welles. And what is Marty Feldman doing in this dreck? Vonnegut is clearly not the easiest author to adapt to the movies. His books bend time and space and require a lot of thought that the makers of this movie in particular just do not capture. It's gross when it should be satiric, cringe-inducing when it should be fun. To quote a famous critic..."if it were any more of a dog, it would shed!"

I don't have much to say here except that I don't understand this movie's ultra-low rating. It's much better than that. It's a decent sci-fi comedy with lots of funny things and plenty of laughs. The whole deal with the Chinese as the smartest people in the world is a hoot. I'm sure the original Vonnegut novel (which I haven't read, but would like to) is better, but as it is, the movie isn't bad. Granted, a lot more could have been done with the concept, and they never really did get around to solving "the gravity problem", but I still enjoyed the movie a great deal. It was a bit long-winded in places, and it may not be an immortal classic, but for fans of sci-fi comedy, it's definitely worth watching. 7 out of 10.

With huge talents such as Jerry Lewis & Madeline Kahn I thought this movie was going to be gas, sitting in my favorite chair ready to laugh...NEVER DID. Movie made me ill, The directors & producers of this film should be arrested for letting this "VOMIT" on the screen. The concept of having Jerry Lewis as a space alien could have been funny (See Visit to a Small Planet) which wasn't that funny either, but it wasn't crap like this. I've seen bad movies, like "Manos Hands of Fate", "Gigli", "Plan 9 From Outer Space", and many other terrible films, but with the exception of "Gigli", this is the worst movie I have ever seen, I truly had to take Maalox after this one. How in the Hell did they get The KING of Comedy, Jerry Lewis, and one of the funniest ladies to ever live Madeline Kahn to star in this bag of Dung? They must have owed favors to the producers or something, because this movie really bit the big one. Pardon My French, but It Sucked!
