This movie was AWESOME!

First, I must say, this film is pure comedy to me. I first saw this a long time ago flipping channels, and there was Shatner so I stayed on the channel. I couldn't stop laughing. Everything about it was beer out the nose hilarity. I was so enthralled by the nonsense terribleness I couldn't believe anybody could have made this movie even The Shat. I figure it was like this, while gazing out across the ocean from his cliff top estate sipping a fine brandy Shatner pondering a new song he wrote on a napkin:

"A guy and girl go on some find meaning to life trip. They meet aliens that make her feel good about life, you know, in general."

The writer took this "story" and was like alright let's find some room to add in a random alien watcher rape scene, a random jeep tumbles down the hill scene where obviously since they've just survived a terrifying roll down a ditch they must dry hump even though it's like just after the rape thing. Oh and remember to have "chase scenes" all the time and "men in black". And because the note mentioned aliens the writer was like Area 51 we all know that's where aliens are.

But it really does kick off with Area 51 itself... they don't have HUMMVs on base, (I mean you know they are researching aliens, so they are concerned with gas prices) NO! they have golf carts. And you can just gain entrance with a set of surplus fatigues and a black armband. And then they follow somebody in the security door.

Just thinking about it makes me laugh and consider pulling it off the shelf for a watch. OH YES! I searched it out and purchased the DVD, because I felt the need to enrich my friends and coworkers lives with this movie. They usually feel betrayed and confused after seeing it, but I can only blame that on government mind control.
