A lighthearted and goofy musical comedy about a love affair between an extraterrestrial and a manicurist.

Even running out of steam as it eventually does, there is zany goofball fun for the undiscriminating moviegoer.

The movie equivalent of cheap champagne -- even though it's lousy, it still gives you tickles up the nose.

It is a joyfully chaotic and wildly uneven work that shows Mr. Temple's roots in music videos.

f there is an idea to this sci-fi (in the worst sense) film, Temple has made clear that it is an unwelcome guest and has sentenced it to solitary confinement.

All this could be frothy fun or irritating, depending on your taste or mood.

Intended by director Julian Temple and his screenwriters to affectionately skewer Tinseltown lifestyles.

When it's time for that inevitable return to the planet Jhazzalan, you may hear yourself breathing a sigh of relief.

Only the most strident of advocates for political correctness will take offence at the harmless fun.

A horrible mess of genres that does nobody involved justice.

Silly, sexy, and filled with music.

This is deliberately, gleefully vacuous entertainment, and any satirical edge is blunted by the film's obvious affection for its subject.

But this movie is hard to take. Sorry, go back to your own planet.

A hilarious, off-beat slice of 80s cheese.
