Review of Project: ALF

I'm not entirely sure what the point of this movie really was, and I suspect that the writes of this movie felt the same way. In the beginning of the movie, either ALF would be killed or allowed to live, presumably, indefinitely on the Air Force base. In the end, he's allowed to live. OK, great. But the whole progression of doctors who befall untimely ends (that were supposed to be funny, but not on this planet), the whole kidnapping thing, and the whole wanna-be "we have to catch the alien or my career is ruined" angle just didn't work. Period. It was slow, plodding, uninteresting, and boils down to a simple question: do you really want to see what happened to ALF? If your answer is yes, then you'll waste 90 of the 91 minutes this movie ran for. If not, you'll have 90 minutes of your life that those of us who watched this dreck will never get back. Some other reviews state that ALF was funny and everyone else was just scenery... well, ALF wasn't even funny and the story unfolds so formulaic that it could have spewed from the powerbook of the laziest Hollywood hack. Don't waste your time.
