Average Rating: 
Rating:  - B-movie fans only need apply
I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. Campbell Scott and Tom Everett Scott are brilliant. I don't remember how I first came across this movie but I make everyone I know sit through it. Maybe the whackiest most original film I've seen.
Rating: - TURN ON THOSE TVS
I have to say up front, I really enjoyed this movie. While not the same type of spoof as AIRPLANE or SCARY MOVIE, INVASION is a delightful spin on those beloved alien movies of the fifties.
Campbell Scott in a smart and shrewd performance plays an atomic scientist, studly yet simple, heroic but foolish. Can't you just picture John Agar, Richard Denning or Marshall Thompson in these kind of roles? Scott has some wonderful throwaway lines that you have to really tune in on to see the sharp ...

Rating:  - Campy tounge-in-cheek invasion spoof
There are many people who feel a spoof should be at the level of Airplane, non-stop gags loosely tied into a theme. There are less smash-on-the-head spoofs such as many of the films of Mel Brooks. This one is somewhere in between.

But then some interesting things happen. Something falls from the sky and ... Read More
Rating: - Misleading cover design and title
Avalanche Video deliberately retitled this film and designed the packaging to fool people into thinking it's a Zucker Brothers style non-stop gag fest like Airplane! or Top Secret. Rather, Top of the Food Chain (the movie's real title, which still appears on the film itself) is an eccentric, amusing exercise in absurdity. As such, it's not for everybody, but who wants to see movies that ARE for everybody? (I know, plenty of people.) The director, John Paizs, is an associate of Guy Maddin, so if ... Read More
Rating:  - What????
Well, perhaps those who reviewed this film favorably need to be brought back to earth.
Mind you, I love bad movies. Ed Wood and Phil Tucker are among my favorites. And I have a few others in my libary which I applaud as they have $2.68 special effects budgets that make them worth watching. (And some are made by those who later became big!)
But, as far as budget, yeah, this one's low. As far as humor, the funniest thing about the story was the fact that at the fire dept. dance or ... Read More
