Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

t_atzmueller I slid this DVD into the player without having done much research about the film, expecting a quality British comedy in the vein of "Hot Fuzz" or "Shawn of the Dead". Boy, was I ever wrong! Would I have done some research, I would have noticed that the protagonists stem from proletarian TV-shows like "Pop Idol", "xxx got Talent" and "I'm a celebrity, etc" - if only I had done this little research, the plastic-disc would not have come anywhere close to my player. The two "stars" (I cannot recall their names) aren't really actors or comedians in the classical sense, since they can neither act, nor are they remotely funny. I'd rather call them symptoms; symptoms for the decline in quality and standard in contemporary entertainment, and if you happen to be British, reading this right now – don't worry, we have the same symptoms plaguing TV, cinema and entertainment generally in Germany.The film actually features two real actors: Bill Pullman and Harry Dean Stanton, which only confirms that acting and prostitution have more in common than most actors would like to admit – and that 'dignity' isn't very high on the list of either trade. Then again, even actors need to eat and let's not forget Joan Crawford: academy award winner today, acting in "Trog" (1970) tomorrow.To be completely honest, I feel a little guilty writing this review in the first place, considering that I really cannot remember much about the film itself. This rarely happens to me, since I have a rather good memory for films. Just another indication of how forgettable this film is.But perhaps I'm too old-fashioned and simply not among the target-audience. Perhaps you, dear reader, have enjoyed contemporary slapstick comedies like "Epic Movie" or "Meet the Spartans"; in that case I might well recommend you "Alien Autopsy" (if your attention-span allows you to remember this reviews headline by the time you've reached the end).Still, 1 point out of 10 from me (and that only because there is no zero rating on IMDb).

marazion1010 Ant and Dec have moved well past their Byker Grove days in this weird but wonderful movie. The way the story is told is really good - as a documentary/flashback! It really makes you think about the possibilities of what happened at Roswell and maybe there is something out there. Sorry, going all alien on you - but thats what the film makes you think. The sub-plot of the gangsters adds interest to the main story and, as you may or may not know, it is based on a true story - whether the whole thing is true or not, I can't remember! But who cares? Ant and Dec both deliver good characters and proves to the world that they can still act - long after PJ and Duncan! Surprise appearances from other comedians is a good laugh too. I could go on and on about this film but I don't want to spoil it too much. Just go and see it - it's a film that cannot be judged by just reading about it as different people think different things on this film. A must for Ant and Dec fans at least!!

Steve C This was one movie I wasn't sure of and went into it knowing next to nothing. It's the true story of the guys that did pull off one of the GREATEST hoax's in our time...and the world over bought into it. And best of all...it made them stinking rich. The acting is top notch and so is the story...as amazingly true as it is. The story takes place now with flash backs to mid 1995 where our characters are working to hustle their way through life...until, they go to the US to buy bootleged Elvis video's. The tale then takes a weird turn which ultimately leads to them having to create a fake video in order to get out of debt to some bad people. All in all, the movie was VERY interesting and I really got a kick out of it. It makes you wonder if there really was an original Alien Autopsy movie. No spoilers here...but the end will make you really wonder what truly happened. It's worth a look you guys...but don't expect some Oscar winning material. It's just a fun Saturday night popcorn movie to laugh with. The low rating is VERY surprising.

tmcgrail I wasn't expecting much and was heartened to see that I got a classic Brit comedy - full of subtle humor (and gross humor) and completely, joyfully unbelievable. Except it has that edge of possibility to it... Sort of Ealing Comedy in the Lavender Hill Mob style - goodies and baddies and Gran with biscuits at the right time. the acting was OK, the characters not so much believable as acceptable parodies of real life people and the story line memorable. There are a few weak moments - but aren't there in all movies - such as the reporter on their trail. My favorite role was Harry Dean Stanton as the original cameraman - he plays it with his usual mix of deadpan and malice...
