5.0 out of 5 starsHilarious
By A Customer on December 30, 2002
Format: DVD
I love this film.
I actually saw it by accident because the video carried on recording all night after I recorded something else and I thought I might as well watch it, after all, the title was pretty amusing. It turns out that so is the rest of the film.
I can't remember a single minute where I was bored, it had me laughing all the way through, especially the moron's reactions when the door falls off their spaceship. Desmond's line then had me giggling all night. It's hilarious when they 'play' chess too.
It's probably not the sort of thing that appeals to everyone, but if you like crazy comedies about beer guzzling morons from another planet then this is the film for you. It's definitely British comedy though, which is different to American comedy and I think funnier, but in a different way.
I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking for a good night in with a few mates and a lot of laughs, but it you're after something in any way serious and thought provoking, look somewhere else. On course if that's what your looking for you wouldn't even be reading up op a film with that title, I hope.

5.0 out of 5 starsComedy with a message.
By A Customer on May 24, 2001
Format: VHS Tape
I loved this movie... Laughed from beginning to end.... Then started thinking about the real message... If there are alien civilizations in the galaxie and they are so advanced that space travel is part of daily life then, there just has to be be alien morons who drive around bumping into things(the planet earth in this case). So next time an "advanced alien civilization" tries to contact us it may just be some morons on vacation.....

4.0 out of 5 starsSilly and Stupid - And that's Just Great!
By Scott FS VINE VOICE on January 2, 2010
Format: DVD
'Morons from Outer Space' is a dumb, stupid, silly movie. It's also fraught with laughs. It's not a laugh a minute, but it's got some very, very funny scenes, including a take-off of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.'

Four aliens vacationing in outer space in what looks like a third-rate motorhome get bored and decide to take a side trip to Earth. Three land in England, and one lands in Arizona. As the first aliens to visit the Earth, they are hailed as the super-intelligent beings they must be to travel the galaxy. After a few minutes, though, it dawns on Earth's representatives that the aliens are complete and utter idiots. For example, when asked what planet the visitors are from, one of the aliens (Julian) says he just can't remember. However, it's blue-y and green-y and has some wispy clouds in the sky. Turns out it does have a name, very appropriate.

The aliens soon wear out their welcome and become more of a side-show than objects of admiration. One starts hawking beer while the three in England are on live television. The movie goes downhill as they are promoted as rock stars in the 'Kiss' mode.

It's a very British comedy, so if you like Monty Python and Death at a Funeral, you'll like this one. Recommended for those with a silly sense of humor.

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the funniest movies- ever!
By A Customer on April 14, 1999
Format: VHS Tape
Bizarre, highly entertaining, always hilarious humor in this British comedy, very much a cross between Airplane and Monty Python type humor. Funny all the way to the end!

4.0 out of 5 starsDelightfully silly
By Michael J. Edelman TOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on January 2, 2010
Format: DVD
Yes, it's British comedy- but not in the Monty Python vein. Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones had a very fruitful partnership for many years writing and performing in a series of "Smith and Jones" television shows, in which they presented exceedingly silly parodies in a completely deadpan manner, and in Morons from Outer Space they have succeeded admirably.

The plot is simple: Four aliens- one of them of average intelligence (by Earth standards) and the other three about as smart as a rock- are out for a joyride when the intelligent one (Smith) gets separated from the ship, and the other three crash it into the Earth. What follows is a broad satire of all the traditional sci-fi conventions along with sly shots at ET, Star Wars, Close Encounters, and no doubt other films as well. The aliens are investigated by scientists, hunted by the military, until finally they find their place as... well, I won't spoil it for you.

I'd never heard of this film until I discovered it playing on a local TV station late one night. I didn't expect much, as sketch comedy rarely translates into feature length films, but Smith and Jones' did a fine job with creating a solid, ridiculous plot that carries the viewer along to the end with plenty of smiles and a few laugh out loud moments as well.

4.0 out of 5 starsWas that Morons or Macaroons?
By Heather L. Parisi on May 27, 2001
Format: VHS Tape
Very original and a "reel" pleasant surprise. Most movies of this type are awful in poor taste and boring but this one rates right up there with the "Green Slime" and "The Monster that Challenged the World," as camp "B" movie hits go. Imagine what they might do in a sequel---perhaps "Macaroons From Outer Space"?

HOW DOES THIS FILM TURN OUT TO BE SOMEWHAT WORTHWHILE?

Basically, it's Mike Hodges, Director, who also brought "Flash Gordon" and "The Terminal Man" to the big screen. Hodges' style permeates this entire film, and makes it into a sort of epic comic book fantasy, harmless-nightmare, sort of surreal something. Basically a grand much-ado-about-nothing.

I loved this cult-like film when it was first released.
Do not expect logic, sense, or reality. Remember it's a movie about MORONS, and it lives up to it's title splendidly.
