I like a lot of movie genres, sci-fi is one of them. But when it comes to campyness, this movie, doesn't try to be funny, but a couple antics are pretty silly. Tobe Hooper and his team do what they can with the script and after purchasing the DVD and watching the features, they overall succeed. The big question is, can it be frightening/ and funny and still be enjoyed? Of course...it can! The critics that trashed this film, I think they expected absolute plausibility and when they didn't get it, they found it worthless. I like director Tim Burton's movies-most of the time, but Mars Attacks was pretty cheesy in comparison to this film. Tobe took a somewhat more serious approach to an alien invasion through a child's eyes, and the results were basically effective. Everything that can be said, has been said, questions or comments welcome.
