Evil Alien Conquerors

Du-ug and My-ik come to earth with their swords to cut off the heads of every person on earth... in less than three days.

My-ik: Not a problem!

In attempting to do their job, they have to deal with cows, alcohol, unibrows and other problems they didn't expect.

My-ik: Not a problem!

I found this movie surprisingly funny. I hesitated to watch it at first, but as it featured Diedrich Bader, I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did.

The writer/director, Chris Matheson, wrote both Bill & Ted movies and he again managed to take what seemed like a weak premise and managed to make movies that still would be funny after repeated viewings. Matheson wisely let the actors and story speak for themselves rather than pad the movie with exploitive nudity or needless profanity.

The cast ranged from serviceable to good. I was particularly impressed with the actor who played Croker, who had to deliver all his lines at the top of his lungs. I would have liked to seen more of Michael McShane, Rabirr, who was so funny on his stint on the British version of "Who's Line Is It Anyway?"
