Alien Sex Party

Ok, I'm a huge fan of Moby, and when I first read about this strange little film I was very confused. So I bought it to check it out. All I can say is.............whoa. Alien Sex Party is a strange little movie that's a combination of Clerks and, well, a sex shop. At one point there is even a cameo of the actual Quick Stop store and Brian O'Halloran (Dante Hicks) from Clerks! If you're a fan of Moby or just want to check out a weird movie, give it a shot. It's pretty funny, but I'm sure most people will hate it. Also, if you're a fan of Moby it's definitely worth it. It contains some songs from Moby and even a few videos of Moby's former bands The Pork Guys and Shopwell.

Not funny, not shocking, not much of anything. The movie strives for that slapped-together indie vibe and overshoots the mark, much to its detriment. My problems? The characters are one-dimensional and unfunny; they're all made to be so "wacky" (but not funny) that it becomes tiresome almost immediately, especially the boss. The music reminds me of the kind of songs you make up spontaneously while performing some task ("I'm taking the garbage out/Go garbage go/No more will you stink up my house/No garbage no"). The story is nonexistent.

On top of all this, the "Let's teach a lesson" vibe of the sex talk fails to amuse or educate. Nothing these people is saying is anything you couldn't read in a issue of some random supermarket magazine anyway, so what's the point? Do they think they'll be scandalizing the squares with "shocking frankness"? The acting is so wooden that it's a serious possibility that the filmmakers were parodying real pons, with their stilted dialog, but realization of that doesn't make the film any easier to swallow.

The whole thing has the feeling of a home video made by a bunch of freshmen in an afternoon, but since it's a Moby project, you get to see it on the shelves of your local store & pay a few bucks for the privilege to see it. I suppose if you're a rabid Moby fan, it's a worthwhile view, in the same way that you'd get a kick out of checking out his vacation photos. But for anyone else, you may as well just get a bunch of friends together, get silly and start filming each other - you'll have a lot more fun & end up with an equivalent product anyway.

Alien Sex Party

Fun, Good Nature Christmas Movie

Entertaining, goofy, funny, caring and loving with a positive message. The best version of Feliz Navidad/I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas EVER! This is a must when you're tired of the insane Norman Rockwell like impressions of Christmas that never existed, this is not your typical White Christmas of past but even with aliens this is more real and what Christmas is all about!

This is what PAUL YATES has done with very limited funds. Paul and his AFI Fellows will kill when supported by the movie industry and use of all the good equipment!

Congratulation AFI Graduate PAUL YATES Director and to all his AFI Fellows!!! All the BEST and of course May the FORCE be with YOU Uncle Jimmy

Coming from a long time video store clerk, I find this movie to be a little bit better than Clerks. I say this because it only focused on the very funny aspects and odd situations that only happen in video stores. Finally, I would would to just say that Moby was an incredible sport in getting this movie out to the public.

it's about time this movie finally got released to the public! for a few years word has been around about this movie, but it's been the rare copy or screening that have allowed people to see it until now! finally it's out on dvd, and packed with great bonus features!

for the general movie viewer: it's a great comedy about a porn shop on christmas eve that deals with lots of little humorous scenarios, and the personalities and interactions of the main characters throughout these. there's a few musical numbers (you'll have a couple of these great songs stuck in your head for long after), and a variety of cameo appearances.

for the moby fan: he makes... 4 different appearances in this movie, including the infamous "dildohead" character, and is in a couple of the musical numbers. and let's talk bonus features! there's short films paul did that include moby and/or moby's music spanning the past... 17 years i think? and material from "shopwell" (a noise band moby used to be in), "the pork guys" (a punk band moby was in not too long ago), some of moby's normal solo stuff, etc. this dvd is such a total score for the moby fan/enthusiast/collector.

so i think everyone should check this movie out and spread the word about it. it's not to be missed!
