the shadow men be an absurd and nonsensical take on the men in black ( mib ) phenomenon . the move itself be of moderate or low budget . standard for a straight to video b movie . the plot seem to be standard enough yet and like diamond in the rough and there be these priceless sequence that make no sense and can cause great episode of hilarity . the family represent1 ) father and bob wilson ( erik robert ) . rugged good look and a well manicure beard really know how to drive a minivan . 2 ) mother and dez wilson ( sherilyn fenn ) sweet concerned mother and fearful of mib . 3 ) son and andy wilson ( brendan ryan barrett ) ugly little kid . the family be make their way home after a trip when their minivan fall under the glare of a bright light . the family wake up some time after and not remember what have transpire and but late suffers from nightmare and allude to alien abduction . later they check their video camera and which the abduct alien fail to notice . and it have record the detail of their abduction . the family contact the air force and report the sighting . soon after some mysterious men in black pay them a visit and question them . the mib wear bad black suit with thin tie and black wayfarer type sunglass and black conspicuous hat . the mother ask the mib if they would like a drink and they reply we will have a coca cola . the mib start to tail the family and even go so far so to harass andy in the schoolyard . the mib lean down and authoritatively ask the lad question and and though they be surround by dozen and dozen of people and no one seem to notice a man in a black suit and black sunglass and a black fedora harass a child in the schoolyard . not too long later the mib intensify their effort to harass the family . rugged good look and a beard manage to outrun the perusing mib with his minivan . apparently all mib drive 1985 chevy celebrity sedan . still surprising that mib could be ditch with a minivan . after this incident the family be contact by the author and retire air force personnel stan mill ( dean stockwell ) and the family be beckon to take refuge in mill seclude ranch complex . though the family feel at ease here it not long until the mib track them down and let loose a chevy celebrity onslaught . the mib break through the complex defense and eventually get inside the house . the mib can not be down by a direct pointblank blast of a 12 guage shotgun but can be kill by a blow from a 2 x 4 if swing by rugged good look and a beard . after one mib be down he fall over and his black wayfarer fall off reveal huge alien type eye and which would have be clearly visible regardless of what type of sunglass he be wear . a it turn out all mib be alien or human hybrid . eventually the mib be drive back and the family escape and though they be doom to walk the earth in terror knowing that any chevy celebrity might be the end of them all . the movie be terrible and but luckily this kind of cinematic folly lend beautiful and unintentional golden humor to this film . every positive and amusing thing about the film be entirely accidental and a it formulaic and predictable flow be really pathetic . if the film be even a bit more craftily write or the actor try a little harder it would have be devoid of redeem quality . luckily justin stanley and eric miller the writer be seriously inept and yet their blunder have inadvertently create a wonder . if you be amuse by really bad cinema and or enjoy lifetime make for tv movie and i would highly recommend this film .
