Uneven, unfocused with some inspired silliness.

EVOLUTION is like a chemistry set experiment that could have gone horribly awry, but turns out just right . . . Duchovny and Jones have great buddy movie chemistry

Once again, the overblown and ultimately uninvolving special effects overshadow some actors working pretty damn hard.

It won't make as much money as the Will Smith blockbuster, but it's a much better movie: less arrogant, less enamored with its special effects, and infinitely more clever.

This alien comedy is able to compensate for lack of originality through easy-going charm.

Anyone with a fondness for those cheesy '50s sci-fi thrillers about mutant invaders from outer space should be amused by Evolution.

The special effects are good, but the rest of the movie has an amateurish look to it, sort of like a very expensive home movie.

Now here's a summer rerun that's worth leaving home to watch.

It would seem that some humor has not evolved in the last 17 years.
