Illegal Aliens (review)

It’s supposed to be making fun of bad sci-fi movies, but really, it’s just an example of same, right down to the broads with huge tits and skimpy wardrobes bouncing around in front of the camera. The only thing that makes this flick and the huge bouncing tits even remotely notable is that two of the boobs belong to Anna Nicole Smith — this is the last movie she made before her death. She does not distinguish herself, even grading on the bimbo curve, and the desperate attempt at high camp is alternately awful, stupid, and boring. No one involved seems to realize that the hard they try, the more painful the result, and that high camp can only be achieved accidentally. Extras include filmmaker commentary, a making-of featurette, deleted scenes, bloopers, and more. [buy at Amazon]

I’m kinda surprised you bothered to see this. You made it quite obvious that you’re not an Anna Nicole Smith fan, and at the risk of sounding like a traitor to people of my gender and sexual orientation, I don’t blame you.

For what it’s worth, Dorothy Stratton–the Anna Nicole Smith of the 1980s–did a last movie–“Galaxina”–with a similar sci-fi theme and it stunk. There are bad sci-fi movies and then there are BAD sci-fi movies–films so bad even Ed Wood would disavow them. This appears to be one of them.

high camp can only be achieved accidently? what about “barbarella”, “the rocky horror picture show” and a plethora of other PURPOSELY campy flicks?
