This is the story of a news investigator who hates his job - which prove why actors - even as weak as Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington - are on the big screen and your neighbors are not!

I'll say this though - the better moments show some basis for being really funny (not just wacky), to keep trying, maybe taking some classes, and using the time to keep learning how to make a good movie. ("Dude, Where's My Car" and the "Scary Movie" sequence have it all over this ... college attempt.)

The lighting wasn't; the production wasn't; and the script had moments (the conversation from space - very nice try unconvincingly executed). (This reminded me of "Dark Star" - which is about being "lost in space" - but this movie is just lost.)

The talent was the bartender (he said 'dog' so annoyingly that I knew he had to be acting... wasn't he? ... now THAT's acting!), the Mark Hammond guy, and Marty. I guess I gave the movie a point for each one of them... 3/10.

I'm a huge lover of really bad B movies. And I especially love alien/scifi movies. I say the cheaper, cheesier, and campier the better. A low budget and a hokey idea are fun enough for most bad B movies, but this movie is so bad that I really felt embarrassed for the people who made the movie and for the schlocky ad-lib actors. First off, there's no real plot, it's all sort of situation "comedy" (if it can be called that). The "comedy" in this movie is more about characters saying, in essence, "look at me, I'm in this crazy situation! Isn't this funny?", but it's only pathetic because nothing anyone's doing is that funny. There's no comedic acting skill, nor any kooky plot to carry all the very un-imaginative scenarios through this dreary turd.

The bad comedy and lack of anything remotely comical is only worsened by the bad ad-lib acting, actors saying really stupid things over and over again (perhaps trying to ape for catch phrases, perhaps just b/c everyone in this is so bad), really unattractive women being played off as hot chicks, and people barfing and passing out in bathrooms.

There was one middle aged actor toward the end of the movie who I could tell had some acting chops and was kinda' convincing in his role. He was as out of place as a solid BM in a weekend detox unit's bathroom. Corey Feldman was filmed for about 3 minutes in total (thankfully we didn't have to put up with him any longer), and he was filmed off site -- probably outside his apartment on the way out somewhere. He said a few really un-funny things about aliens and having sex with aliens and that was the extent of his appearance.

If you value your life and the 90 minutes (and years of pain in remembering) you'll lose by watching this garbage, avoid it. If you do a lot of drugs, like Adam Sandler's comedy stylings (and thus have no standards whatsoever), and are considered mentally slow you might like this movie.

P.S. I think the people who raved about this must work for Troma or something, b/c I can't believe people can be so lame as to actually enjoy this movie. (Do drugs really ruin your judgment that much?)

I watched the sequel to "Space Daze" first which is called "Spaced Out". It was pretty good - although kind of long at 99 minutes. So, I decided to check out "Space Daze" figuring it would be better since sequels usually are not as good as originals. Wrong. I watched this movie all the way to the end even though I was tempted to turn it off and watch something else. It's sequel is much much better. So if you have extra time on your hands and want a couple of laughs go ahead and watch it. But you will only get a couple of laughs and not much more. Corey Feldman is in this movie for a couple of minutes and his lines are not funny at all. Do yourself a favor and watch "Spaced Out" instead.

"Troma at its best!!" Space Daze is a very funny indie film which combines the documentary style of "Best in Show" with any "Reality TV" show you see on TV today. The funniest scene in the movie, and I won't give it away, but its a scene where Corey Feldman makes a comment about Michael Jackson. "Yes," Michael Jackson apparently does have a secret, but you'll have to rent/buy the movie to find out what it is!!!! There are also some other very funny scenes which involves other celebrities and the central theme....do "Aliens" really exist??? I don't really know one way or another, but I do know this...this movie made me laugh so hard, I thought an Alien was going to burst from my stomach!!! Great Flick!!!

Hey I thought this movie was pretty amusing considering they had no real budget. I really felt Matt Kissane and Corey Feldman made it funny!! A must for fans of the genre. I've seen all the Ed Wood films and all the sci-fi spoofs and put it up there with my favorites. John Norton gave a solid directorial debut and Jim Vallo is a adequate leading man. I love the scene in the jail house with the two goofy cops. This DVD also comes with a bonus movie from Troma and it was not as good. But I enjoyed Space Daze and you will too!!! Get it NOW!! I thought this low budget film was done pretty good and I like the way the video looked liked real film. New filmmakers take note.

I truly enjoyed this movie it was a film for all to see. My entire family enjoyed it. We didn't know what to expect and was happily surprised by this film. The story gets better as it goes on and by the end you want more. It is not your typical run of the mill indie. James Vallo and Corey Feldman really brought the story to life with an excellent ensemble cast of spaced out characters. A very funny film from an insane journalistic and alien fanatical point of view. I also enjoyed the soundtrack as well. A refreshing score of new talented artists. Top notch casting and visuals. A very unique film indeed. X-files watch out! Loved it,hoping for a sequel. Chris

If you like other Troma movies this is the one that will knock you on your ass with stoner and other humor. I in my personal belief that you must see this movie if you have a bag in your possession. This comedy is a great movie for the audiences to which smoke substances that impair judgment and will also apply to those who don't, because of its witty remarks. I for one think it's a great movie and believe that all of the masses must watch. If your not in the frame of mind for a comedy this is not the movie for you. I implore you to watch this movie and hope you find it as humorous as I do.
