What I like about this movie is that not only funny, but also the aliens that come from the meteorite had been in many forms since their arrival. They come in many forms to wildlife except being hostile species and wanting to invade our world. For the characters being goofballs, it reminds me Ghostbusters in how to deal with these invasive creatures like how science is able to defeat them, same with the characters in Ghostbusters in how they invent technologies to defeat the ghosts. That's what makes the film impressive.

I really loved this film. Great acting, comedy and the special effects were campy enough to be funny and professional enough to not make the film look amateurish. I didn't find it had anything in common with MIB as some commented. It is a hilarious stand alone sci-fi comedy. I watched this on a Sunday afternoon and my wife and I were kept in stitches. Great entertainment and both of us highly recommend it for those who just want a fun escape.

Evolution is quite a fun little film. As two college teachers struggle with government agents to get credit for discovering aliens, said aliens rapidly evolve into a menace. Shampoo to the rescue!The main thing I would fault this movie with is that it does not quite get the balance of slapstick humor and character-driven humor right. The CDC director falls a little too often; the mooning scene does nothing for Duchovny's character; and getting sucked into the anus of a cell (whatever that is) might get the 8 year-olds to laugh, but not much anyone else.That said, the film is a whole lot of guilty fun! As a scientist, I was particularly happy to see that they stuck some real science in it, even though things got stretched - a whole lot - to accommodate the zany plot. I saw it again recently while giving my wife a back rub, and even she had to snicker a few times, although she protested when I hinted she might actually have enjoyed parts of this movie. It had aged well, despite the somewhat early-vintage special effects. I think this really has the making of a sci-fi comedy cult classic, with unforgettable set pieces like a snobbish employer of one of the main characters getting dragged form a golf course into oblivion by a gator-like evolved critter. Or the oh-so-cute alien turning out to have a vicious tongue! And of course, the chemistry between the five main characters (three good, one who turns good, and one despicable general) is good - an important ingredient in any comedy worth its salt.So I give this 7 stars, usually reserved for films good enough that I might see them more than once - as I did in this case.

Goofy sci-fi spoof set in an Arizona community college desert town has two scientists (David Duchovny and Orlando Bloom) discovering a variety of alien lifeforms evolving into scary monsters at an alarming rate, deciding it would be best to kill them before the extinction of the human race. How to do that? Head and Shoulders shampoo, of course! Duchovny gets to riff his X-Files image and is comfortably relaxed as a ladies' man with a rather unfortunate history regarding his work at the Pentagon…which a former associate, General Woodman (Ted Levine; Silence of the Lambs, Monk), likes to remind him of. Bloom coaches girl basketball, must endure a rectal removal of an alien "fly", and seems to be having fun as Duchovny's wise-cracking sidekick…certainly hard to forget is how Bloom is literally sucked into the anus of a giant alien monster! Seann William Scott, obviously cast due to his Stiffler character from the American Pie movies of the time, is a fireman wannabe who assists the scientists in trying to stop the aliens from evolving into a menace that would destroy all of mankind. Julianne Moore is another military scientist that eventually sides with Duchovny and Bloom after initially being on the side of Levine. Dan Aykroyd is the Arizona governor and Sarah Silverman is a former lover of Duchovny's. As you might expect, Moore and Duchovny (Moore being a redhead has a special irony to it, considering Gillian Anderson was opposite Duchovny on the X-Files) eventually hit it off. The obvious ending Ghost Busters homage is hard not to notice. Some cool special effects giving life to the aliens add substantially to the spoof; this might make a fun companion piece to Mars Attacks. The comedy aims to please and perhaps tries just a bit too hard, but I guess it succeeds more than fails. I thought William Scott was rather inconsequential to the film, lightening up his usual shtick and offering a rather dimbulb bimbo who is all gung-ho to help the scientists. A type of winged dinosaur flying through a mall could be the special effects highlight, but there is an underground cavern that becomes its own alien world which gives it a run for its money. Moore was about to move on from this kind of movie to focus on far more dramatic work. Bloom's asking for his leg to be removed before the fly inside his body reaches his testicles should get a good laugh. There's plenty of winking in Duchovny's performance which signifies that he (nor us should) doesn't take this seriously at all.
