This western/sci-fi is an over the top "black comedy" with George Wendt and Julie Brown repeating their roles from "Welcome to Planet Earth", only this time they are dishing out "old west" vengeance on the bad guys. The meager plot is something about scaring a small town into selling out to evil developers cheap, with alien abductions being the method of unsettling the population. Enter the new sheriffs in town, Wendt and Brown, who dish out punishment to lawbreakers with their over the top credo "let the punishment fit the crime." The movie is fast paced with mostly funny gags and deadpan comments spewing forth from the alien sheriffs. - MERK
... View MoreAfter watching the first installment of this series and watching the second one, This is great late night drivel. George Wendt ( Norm from Cheers ) and Julie Brown ( Clueless) do a great job with a less than good script and add laughs. A great line in the movie is when at the campsite the people Daphine and Joseph are about to go to bed the foreign exchange student states " he wants to stick in her butter " or something to that extent. Plus add in the drunk judge and the really bad, bad guy played by Wayne Grace with fake aliens trying to buy the whole town to put a casino and resort in.. just great. If you are looking for a good B - rated film, late at night .. good stuff.
... View MoreCaught this one on cable. Sometimes you start watching these movies you've never heard of and you cross your fingers and hope for the best. More often that not, you're let down. This one starts slow, is a mishmash of genres, but if you stick to it you'll realize that the film makers made this one with tongue firmly in cheek, and it's hilarious. Julie Brown and George Wendt give charming, scenery chewing performances as vigilante aliens who become sheriffs of a small western town. It's not too often you can see a German foreign exchange student getting his rocks off while spying on a black guy having sex with an alien in the same movie where a hillbilly is torn limb from limb between two cop cars as punishment for driving drunk. There's a sense of playfulness and over the top twisted humor that's been absent from feature films since the heyday of Monty Python.
... View MoreCharlie (George "Norm" Wendt) and Rhonda ("Just Say" Julie Brown) are a pair of cheerful, murderous aliens who become stranded on Earth and stumble upon a tiny western town. They become deputy sheriffs and dish out a deadly form of justice to speeders, murderers and others, while getting on the bad side of some of locals (led by Wayne Grace). Meanwhile, their sexy alien daughter (Anastasia Sakelaris) arrives in a skimpy/shiny outfit with her black human husband (Christopher M. Brown) to find them and TV reporters and government agents turn up to fill up time.From what I can tell, this is a deliberate attempt to cover every possible genre (comedy, sci-fi, horror, western...) in one movie, and what a stupid, unfunny mess it is, despite energetic acting from the two stars. The script is downright atrocious.
