Director Reitman tries to remake Ghostbusters, but his efforts are largely unsuccessful because the movie has too many comedic misfires.

Part of the problem with Evolution -- aside from the fact that it isn't really very funny -- is that it's mostly jaded; there's very little gee-whiz, almost no awe. Jan 21, 2008 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Paying homage to his previous and better work, Reitman's new comedy is marked by one-idea story, sporadic humor that lacks wit, and cheesy special effects. Jun 24, 2006 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

Wayne Grey: Ka ka, ka ka! Kakaaa! Tukki Tukki! Tukki Tukki! Harry Block: Wayne, I think we've established that "Ka Ka" and "Tukki Tukki" don't work. Those lines always cracks me up!

Out of all the popcorn films I have seen recently Evolution has to be my favourite, It is by no means a completely original brilliant piece of cinema but it is a good fast paced comedy to sit back into and enjoy. Duchovny and Jones work well together and the film keeps you laughing throughout.
A terrible attempt to make a new Ghostbusters. Sometimes fun, but nothing good, silly gags, awful screenplay, Evolution is a weak try to do sucess again with comedy and sci-fi of Reitman. Rotten.
This isn't great, but it's a few degrees above better than average, and the effects are cool. It's also pretty funny and clever, and I like the cast. Too bad it's not as good as Reitman's earlier works. He needs to make some more movies. I miss him.
