The only other movie this reminds me of is Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Similar cheesy aliens/space outfits, a goofy comic relief guy and an intellectual level below the IQ of most 4 year olds. And it has the same incredibly cheesy overall look and feel to it, too. Bad? Well, yes, it's a bad movie. But I'm one of those people who loves bad movies. I mean, just reading the plot on the DVD sleeve made me burst out laughing, so I figured I was in for some spectacularly bad cinema, and I wasn't disappointed.
The story? Aliens come to rescue an alien whale who was left on earth ten years earlier. With a plot line like that, how can you resist? This movie isn't so bad that it's good; rather, it's so ineffably horrific that it's great.
Highly, highly recommended. And bonus points for the flying saucer that looks like a giant inflatable starfish.
