I am not a movie critic but I know a great movie when I see one you will laugh out loud, plenty of fun to watch for the whole family. our first copy of this movie was on VHS it's been worn out so bad we can't watch it anymore, regretably. please re release this movie I would buy in a heart beat.

On my first viewing of Spaced Invaders I made a tragic mistake: I took it seriously. When renting it later just for the heck of it I realized that it's supposed to be just as goofy and unbelievable as it is. It's not just a funny movie; it's a forgotten classic. The first time you see it you're likely to be distracted by the sappy ET-style friendship between Arianna Richards and a cute little robot-thing, but make no mistake: This movie is not just another Mac & Me.
The story: The Martian Empire is attacking Arcturus under the command of enforcer drones whose inflexibility turns the entire fleet into cannon fodder; a civilian asteroid patrol with five loony Martians and a drone of their own picks up what they think is a cry for help from the embattled citizens of Earth. What they don't know is that the little town of Big Bean is merely broadcasting "War of the Worlds" on Halloween night, so their efforts to join up with the invasion force after a crash landing get them mixed up with a bunch of trick-or-treaters, a costumed mob of gun-toting rednecks, a farmer obsessed with getting pictures for the tabloids, a new Sheriff out of his depth, and their own enforcer drone.
The dialogue in this film is sharp and wittily delivered, set amongst small but incredibly humorous moments that could be missed the first time through but reward second and third viewings trmendously. Little things from a dog changing film in a camera offscreen to the "Duck!" scene make the movie special, and crazy elements like Vern "Zorro" Pillsbury, turned from zero to hero via a Martian robot slave transformation, keep things nutty. Brian the duck is a show-stealer who actually does remind us at times of Daffy--right down to the accent--while old man Wrenchmuller and his trusty dog Jim try to deal with the Martians in their barn like any cartoon character would: with mousetraps and dynamite.
Forget that it's silly to have five Martians voiced as celebrity parodies--it's supposed to be silly. Sit back and watch it with your family this Halloween, and remember not to put tab A into slot B when you assemble your world domination kit. As for me, I can't wait for this one to hit DVD.

Very clever dialogue, lots going on. Watch the background - there's action there, too. One character's girlfriend is never explained but quite odd. The Martians are mistaken for kids on Halloween, and a mom taking them trick or treating is very funny. My kids and I love to watch this movie year round - I hope its re-released soon - we need a new copy!

Totally funny. This movie appeals to both adults and kids. Many of the jokes adults will get, but kids will not. But on the other hand, the other jokes the kids will love...and the adults wish they could laugh at without the kids in the room. If you want the story line, read another review, If you want fun, get this movie. The martian characters bring life to the movie, as well as a few of the town folk characters. The one liners that pop up will get ya. The visual gags are also great. I will admit I had to see the movie three times to get all the visual gags since they appear so quickly. Enough said.
