Steineded How sad is this?

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

tbills2 To start, I'd like to make a perfectly casual, and completely complimentary stark observation, as evidently clear as it may be that Dan Aykroyd seems like a really horny dude. Jon Lovitz too. Omg, look, it's a young cute Alyson Hannigan! Me too. I've never watched My Stepmother Is an Alien before and I've usually seen a movie at least once before I go into writing a review for it, but I only seen that one hot scene with Kim in the bedroom (obviously) in this years ago that I somewhat remember where she's wearing like a white negligee or something and I'm definitely looking forward to that scene again now and anything else My Stepmother Is an Alien has to offer. Kim Basinger in this makes me horny. I'm watching it now, Kim is gonna be the best part of this movie I feel, so far, so right. Mystic Pizza is the only other movie I reviewed while watching it the first time, thus explaining the review title and this sentence. This is a good, cute, funny, sexy movie that I think I already knew before watching. Hold on for further comment...I'm enjoying the movie. Oh, look, a little one-eyed alien in a purse. (note to self - potentially use little one-eyed alien in a purse reference momentarily when discussing that hot upcoming Kimmy scene I'm so looking forward to, or anything else that My Stepmother Is an Alien has to offer) Kim doesn't talk a lot in this. She's busy learning how to kiss, and relate. Thank God for it, genuinely, I love it. (note to self - resist urge to use little one-eyed alien in a purse reference now as Kimmy kisses up on Danny boy and stuff because you may need it later you doofus!) This scene reminds me of her from the end of Batman when's she's kissing up on the Joker trying to distract him in that bell tower. Okay, now she's talking more. Thank goodness. I love you Kim Basinger. It's not even fair how sweet and gorgeous you are it's really not! Watching the movie still...you remember that Wayne's World sketch where they'd do the Top Ten Hottest Babes, Kim Basinger would be my number one top hot babe, ch'ya, Kim breaks the human mold for epic hot babe sexuality like she's an alien from another planet or something, as if. (do you remember Kim from Wayne's World 2?! I almost forgot) Oh, she has to learn about sex, that's funny. (note to self & to you - i think the scene is coming) Oh here's the scene.....................speechless with my mouth open just like Dan is. OMG this' way hotter than I was expecting. That's definitely not a negligee........My Stepmother Is an Alien = Kim + sheer white nightgowny thingy / my love x her beautiful passion. I set myself up to be all cute towards Kim then she bombards me with her explosive sexual hotness. That's not fair Kim you goddess temptress enchantress you! That's eeevil. Do people know how hot Kim is in this, holy God? I love her. Oh yes. Kim's sweet sexual spiritual essence formed into actual beautiful womanly embodiment ramming into Earth's airy atmosphere during a rarefied and special solar moon phase one 1988 eve for My Stepmother Is an Alien. That actually happened one December 8, 1953 eve when Kim was born. Ah, the universe's most precious gift, horniness. I want to stick my little one-eyed alien in her purse.

FlashCallahan Astronomer Steven Mills accidentally sends a great surge of energy out into space, threatening life on another world. They respond by dispatching one of their race disguised in deliberately attractive human form to Earth to sort things out called Celeste, accompanied by a rather less attractive superior, in the form of a talking handbag. Steven is indeed attracted, as is his untrustworthy brother, while Celeste becomes increasingly fond of Steven's young daughter.........Back in 1988, it would've probably been a great High Concept idea to get Basinger to play an alien who is slightly amusing for the first fifteen minutes if her arriving to earth, and then fall in love with Dan Ackroyd.But when you boil it all down to the concept and story, it's nothing more than a remake of Splash!, but with aliens and the threat of the end of the world.But the concept is basically the same, man meets girl, girl is odd for the first two acts of the film, ensuring hilarity. Man is totally oblivious to the fact that she is more than slightly different, and both film have a borderline pervert as a brother for the main character.It's all paltry stuff, the two leads are okay, but it's fun to see people like Greene, Hannigan, and Lewis in very young roles.The fashion is atypically eighties, but the less said about the narrative, the better.Bland.

david-sarkies I have seen this movie numerous times and it does invite the occasional chuckle, but in essence there is nothing all that spectacular about it. A scientist, Dr Mills (Dan Akroyd) is trying to send a message to another star but a freak accident causes the signal to go to a nearby galaxy severely endangering a planet. So they send Celeste (Kim Bassinger) to Earth to find Dr Mills and have him send the signal again. What happens is that Celeste, while trying to pass off normally in Earth (read American) society falls in love with Dr Mills and marries him.The whole point of this movie is to show the pleasures of this world and make us feel happy that we have these pleasures. The aliens have removed all form of pleasure and have become an long lived scientific race. They have no experience of sex, kissing, or even eating a sandwich. This, so the movie says, is what makes Earth a beautiful place. The movie though focuses mostly on the beautiful aspects of Earth, and I do agree that the pleasures that we have is what makes life enjoyable, but it excludes the pain that comes with these pleasures, the pain that keeps our focus away from indulging in the pleasures of Earth and remembering that which comes in heaven (and this is explored more in Shadowlands).As this is an American movie, the pleasures are sort of American, but this movie does not have the ideas of freedom and liberty that American movies try to push, but rather is digs deeper into the base pleasures: sex, food, and laughter. These pleasures are the same no matter what culture you are in. Unfortunately, people do consider such pleasures as distracting from spiritual enlightenment, but the truth is we have these pleasures to make life beautiful, and all of these pleasures were given to us long before the fall of humanity.

Lee Eisenberg During the period when Richard Benjamin wasn't acting in any movies, he turned to directing, and "My Stepmother Is an Alien" was one of the results. It features nerdy astronomer Steven Mills (Dan Aykroyd) accidentally doing something that causes alien Celeste Martin (Kim Basinger) to get sent to earth. Naturally, she has to learn about everything step by step, causing some really wacky situations.This movie's nothing special, but good for a laugh. You probably really like the scene where Celeste asks her purse "What is sex?". Also starring Alyson Hannigan, Jon Lovitz, and Seth Green. Oh, and most of us probably know that Aykroyd had already played Mr. Conehead on "SNL".
