I saw this movie at the Wisconsin Film Festival a few years ago. I split a gut it was so smart and so stupid. STUPID! Watching the DVD I realized I missed so many jokes the first time. The helium addict was hysterical and Titler is outrageous. It's definitely a movie to watch with a group that will need a designated driver at the end of the evening. Very funny stuff. But beware, it is too long and nobody will get all the pop culture references. I watched it with a MST3000 fan who didn't know who Barney Frank or Paul Ruddnick were. He didn't like it. It's a lot more SNL than MST. I hope they make another one.

I saw this movie when it came to the Boston Underground film festival. I couldn't stop laughing. I am so glad that Refried flicks has finally made a DVD version. This is a really funny movie. Definitely worth seeing. I am especially fond of the songs!

If you like Mystery Science Theatre you will love this movie. It deals quality laughs and the appeal never wears off after many views, very worth owning. Also the social commentary is sharp, so there's substance behind the towering humor.

I saw the movie when it played in hoboken and i haven't laughed so hard since!!!
the crowd was allways laughing so you missed half of the jokes.
i can't wait to watch the dvd and get all the jokes that i missed in the theatre.
this is a movie to watch time and time again, there is allways something new to catch.

DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL takes the 1954 schlocko classic "Killers from Space", throws out the soundtrack and in Mystery Science Theater tradition, fashions an entirely new story.

Let's face it, "Killers from Space" was hardly a cinema masterpiece, despite Peter Graves (aka Captain Oveur from "Airplane!") in the lead role. The new story concerns Dr. Fartin (it's French apparently) who is kidnapped by ping-pong ball bug-eyed aliens and turned gay. He tries to rail against his new sexual urges, only for the aliens to use him as a pawn in their masterplan to turn the entire male population into screaming queens...

Thanks to some gusset scenes and new characters (Nurse Bendover, Titler, Colonel Butz), the story is given a new comical edge, and the original characters are given some hilarious new identities. This won't be everyone's cup of java, but for cult cinema fans it's a real treat.

The DVD includes original trailers and publicity material for "Killers from Space", plus additional extras about DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL. (Single-sided, single-layer disc).

I can't agree with the other two reviewers. I love Science Mystery Theatre, which is very clever. This movie is irritatingly undergraduate in its humour. Avoid it and save your money.

I just watched the DVD at a party at Syracuse University. It was brilliant.
I love the premise of Gay Aliens coming to earth to make everyone gay. The
jokes are non-stop. There's a fine line between stupid, offensive and smart
and this movie seems to cross them all. A great Chrismas gift for a guy who
laugh at farts.
