Genre: Comedy
Director: Mike Hodges
Cast: Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones, James Sikking, Paul Brown, Joanne Pearce, Jimmy Nail, Tristram Jellinek, George Innes, John Joyce, Mark Lewis Jones
Yes, aliens can also be stupid, and this movie is, at times, also stupid. While the least moronic alien, Bernard (Mel Smith), is out of the spaceship playing Space Ball, the other three accidentally shoot the pod they are in to the planet–Earth–below. They land, and the hilarity begins while Bernard hitches a ride with another alien ship. Some funny moments.
