After "Airplane" but before "Naked Gun" Leslie Nielsen starred in this little parody of alien flicks, which is not the best work he's ever done but still manages a laugh or two. Also starring are Cindy Williams (Laverne & Shirley) and Gerrit Graham (Phantom of Paradise) not to mention Patrick Macnee (The Avengers and many, or at least some, far better showcases for his talent). This involves a spaceship that lands on a strange planet to bring back a little blob of slime that grows into a singing, dancing, flesh-eating alien. Which of course is the worst monster costume one could ever imagine, some guy in a rubber suit with one big eye. Now, of course the good doctor Stark thinks that any creature that can sing and dance like that must be good, so he ends up in its stomach rather quickly, despite warnings from Morale Office Cindy Williams that it might not be benign since the song it sang was "I Want To Eat Your Face". What follows is lots of running and hiding in the corridors and rooms of the spaceship, and battling the monster. This has a very cheesy early 80's look to it, which I kind of liked, but the humor is a bit on the weak side and could have used a lot more punch. It's kind of silly but enjoyable, if you're not feeling too demanding. Hard to believe this is out of print and going for lots of $$$ on the internet right now though, I found a copy at the flea market which is an apt venue for buying this movie. 6 out of 10.
