It's the movie equivalence of Tim Burton shitting himself and rubbing his brown-stained ass all over a movie screen.

So a perfect Ed Wood homage

Fun premises, poor execution. There are fun moments, some likable characters, but the overall film doesn't work for me. I have to agree with Roger Ebert when he said that Men in Black was the movie which Mars Attacks promised and failed to be.

How are they anything alike other than being about aliens.

They're both alien comedies about aliens trying to destroy the Earth

Mars Attacks is fun if you're a kid. Excruciating to watch as an adult. It's weird like that.

I saw it in the theaters over 20 years ago.

Couldn't wait for the VHS release.

They're both tongue in cheek. And they technically both involve invasions. Whereas Mars Attacks is a full scale war, Men in Black has Edgar attempting to trigger the destruction of Earth by stealing a McGuffin.

It's just that one is a good alien movie and the other is a hit and miss alien movie which falls just short of being worthy of recommendation.

I had a chance to see it earlier this year, a theater was showing it as part of a tribute to Tim Burton, but I passed on it. I did see Batman and Beetlejuice though. Those were both a lot of fun.

It's one of those rare films you can watch over and over.
