I want to eat your face!, December 29, 2000
Before yesterday I had never even heard of this movie. I happened to stumble upon the DVD while I was in K-Mart, it was only 5 dollars. What did I have to loose? I might have bought it if it was normal priced. As it turns out it would have been worth it. This movie is in the tradition of a lot of Leslie Neilson's other films. So if you enjoy the Airplane/Naked Gun movies, this is a really great peice of work. It's never serious, but the slap stick isn't anyone as thick as in Naked Gun. Airplane had me dying. Here I found myself laughing at the Rasinski(sp?) character. And John was funny, just looking at him I would chuckle. Very querky stuff here. As a few of the other reviews said, I was in stitches when the monster sang "I want to eat your face" Along with his broadway dancing. I was really surprised by this movie, it's not a classic slap stick film. But it has a ton of definitely funny moments. And the god awful low budget looking sets really enhanced the movie and gave it that "cheap but funny" feel. And what other movie has a space ship in it that has turn signals?

Even funnier than Phantom Menace, September 14, 2002
Our university roleplaying group had a regular video evening, where Mark Kelly would inflict all manner of trash on us. That's how I first encountered 'Spaceship' (The UK title). The inspired daftness had us crying with laughter. It might not appeal to all senses of humour but we loved the singing and dancing monster, the sci-fi in-jokes and the Bad Science dialogue, delivered with beautifully straight faces. "Their oxygen is compatible with ours". Cross 'Alien' with 'Dark Star' and you get the general idea. It's shot on a shoestring budget, but that's part of the charm. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves without treating it like a joke. If you like oddball, "what were they on ?" stuff, you'll love 'Spaceship'. I've spent more than two hours trying to track down a PAL video copy but it's not available anywhere. I love this movie so much that I'm going to order a NTSC copy and have it transferred. Then I'll make my friends watch it. They'll be grateful.

A Very Well Made Spoof For Such A Modest Budget, March 18, 2002
This review is from: Naked Space (DVD)
I stumbled across this movie when I was in college. My friend and I were wandering through the student center when we noticed Leslie Nielsen on the t.v. so we sat down and watched. We both loved it so much that we decided we had to find it and rent it again. Originally titled "Spaceship" but changed I assume to capitalize on "Naked Gun" fame; "Naked Space" is a hilarious spoof of most any alien movie. Written and directed by a virtual unknown (Bruce Kimmel) and starring Leslie Nielsen, "Naked Space" is a very funny slapstick B-movie. Instead of parodying multiple movies like most of the slapstick movies of today, the entire movie is one long parody. The jokes were very clever and the performances were very earnest, which made the jokes even funnier. The cast did very well with what was obviously a very small budget and ridiculous script. I laughed a lot. For those who like well made spoofs, I highly recommend this movie
