so utterly STUPID that it's GREAT!!!!, June 30, 2004
"Evil Alien Conquerors" has gotten a lot of bad reviews from people who really don't get it... it was MEANT TO BE BAD. This movie is so utterly STUPID that you have to laugh at it - a LOT. Admittedly the first part of the movie drags some, but by the end, my entire family was laughing. I especially liked Kroeker making the walking noises everywhere he went, once he got to Earth.
Even if this movie is not your style, the theme song alone is worth the cost of a movie rental. We just finished watching "Evil Alien Conquerors" for the second time, and my children are running around the house singing the theme song, and pretending to be Kroeker.

I laughed 'til it hurt, March 9, 2004
I can't remember the last time I laughed so long and so hard. At times, I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe. The rest of the time, I was merely laughing constantly.
This is a wacky, low-budget, straight-to-video film. However, it has good production values, and a few well known actors. And it succeeds where many similar films have failed. Mainly, it doesn't take itself seriously, and thus all cheesiness is purposely used for comedic effect, rather than being an effect of bad writing/acting. I especially liked how they didn't resort to the painful fish-out-of water theme that is common in these types of films; they didn't have any scenes where the aliens failed to comprehend the purpose of some unfamiliar device, and embarassed themselves by doing something inappropriate with it.
However, I realize that the type of humor in this movie won't appeal to everyone, so here's a simple litmus test. If you like wacky, off the wall humor such as:
- Monty Python
- Clerks: The Animated Series
- Invader Zim
- Excel Saga
- Steve Odekirk's Thumb parodies, such as Thumb Wars
Then you will like Evil Alien Conquerors.

Imbued with Kabijjian Magnificence, Baby!, May 4, 2004
Best low budget comedy in years. Cleverly immature and riddled with great one-liners and sight gags. Pay no heed to the naysayers...this probably isn't their style of movie anyway. As a testament to the lowbrow quality of this movie, Tori Spelling (Jan the Unibrow) refused to appear in the credits. That makes it a keeper in my book. At the very least, rent this movie and behold the Kabijjian magnificence for yourself.
Enthuse for Rabirr!
