Bad Movie Rating: 2/5 (Josh: 3/5; Tami: It was unclear whether or not she was really there or not.)
Rating: 10/20
Plot: Like Lilo (or Stich...whichever one is the alien in that movie), a punished alien winds up on earth. In order to survive, it has to keep borrowing the bodies of humans. He makes lots of friends.
I didn't think this movie was all that bad. Directed by John McNaughton of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer fame, it's reminiscent in tone and low-budget gross-out style of 85's Re-Animator, and that, in my opinion, isn't a bad thing. McNaughton's dark humor is sometimes forced, but a lot of times, it works really well. I enjoyed watching the alien try to adapt to its new body's personality each time, and the cheapo effects were also funny.
The best scene involves a dog.
