Review of Evolution

Evolution (2001)
Typical Ivan Reitman film, and his stuff is great!
12 June 2001
I went into this movie, just expecting a stupid comedy. I came out pleased to have seen a smart "stupid" comedy. Ivan Reitman has a gift to put people in situations and make them act stupid. Somehow, the audience finds this stupidity funny. You know why? Because it is! People doing stupid stuff is what keeps this world going. That is what makes "Evolution," an enjoyable flick. Not only is the comedy present, but the special effects and sci-fi intrigue are there as well. David Duchovny and Julianne Moore are perfect for the roles. "Evolution," has been done before, its extremely formulaic. However, this "stupid" comedy formula works, and that is why Ivan Reitman keeps delivering these hilarious flicks. The only downfall to the movie, is that at points is becomes too comedic or too much like a sci-fi flick. Besides this unbalance, the movie is quality Reitman! ***-B+
