you know and i usually have respect for british comedy such a monty python or for british comedy or sci fi and such a doctor who and red dwarf or hitchhiker guide to the galaxy . i list those because i want to establish a standard for good . this movie do not have a single laugh in it . essentially and a spaceship full of slacker crash land their space ship ( which oddly enough and resemble a trailer home on the inside ) in the uk and and an international team of british and bad american stereotype proceeds to examine them . hill street blue james b. sikking play a cia officer who delight in torture the alien . the alien escape with the help of a friendly reporter and who turn them into rock star . meanwhile and their captain be strand in space and and be drop off in arizona by a gender confuse alien . he be confine to a mental institution ( bad parody of one flew over the cuckoo nest ensue ) before catch up with his rock star comrade in nyc . a spaceship reminiscent of close encounter of the third kind arrives and take them home . the american scene be poorly do because it be fairly obvious that the producer have never be to america . ( the sign on the diner that read chile be the most glaring example . chili be food and chile be a country . ) the american be nothing but bad stereotype and and in many case and be more alien than the british accented alien . it essentially a one joke movie . the alien be dumb . the earth people be dumb . the problem be that they aren not funny .
