Synopsis
A comedy that follows the chaos that ensues when a meteor hits the Earth carrying alien life forms that give new meaning to the term "survival of the fittest." David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott, and Julianne Moore are the only people standing between the aliens and world domination... which could be bad news for the Earth.

Entertainment Weekly
Visually witty and even marvelous when it comes to depicting the spectacular creatures evolving at a speed previously known only in the Bible. - 70
Variety
A consistently amusing action romp. - 63
USA Today
Instead of scoring belly laughs, there's a run on randy guy banter between Duchovny and Jones. - 63
Chicago Sun-Times
It's not good, but it's nowhere near as bad as most recent comedies; it has real laughs, but it misses real opportunities. - 63
New York Post
Somewhat refreshingly aspiring to be nothing more than a disposable summer popcorn movie, this is a flick that delivers more smiles than laughs and has some wonderful special effects. - 50
L.A. Weekly
Amiably goofy, but it isn't especially funny. - 30
Film.com
An excruciating misfire. - 25
Charlotte Observer
Director Ivan Reitman used to know how to tell a silly story, back around the time of "Stripes" and "Ghostbusters."
