Watch My Stepmother Is an Alien For Free

Wonderful Movie

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

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

MY STEPMOTHER IS AN ALIENOK, so this is not a great classic movie, but I did watch it when I was a kid and loved it... so when I found it on DVD really really cheap I had to get it.The movie is about a scientist who is sending signals into space, but when the signal leaves our galaxy and threatens to destroy a planet in our neighbour galaxy an alien is sent to Earth to find the scientist and find out what he knows to save their planet. The problem is, when the alien gets there she learns a lot about the planet and the scientist falls in love with her.It is a comedy and there are some laugh out loud moments, but nothing that will stick in your mind for too long. The story is a bit unusual and obviously completely unrealistic, but when the scientist wants to marry the alien the very next day after meeting her I thought it was a bit over the top.It is funny seeing the alien learning all things human, including eating, sneezing, cooking, kissing and even sex. Her one eyed handbag was great. I loved the little creature inside that bag. I thought it looked so fake, but that just added to the fun of the film.The acting was not too great, but it is what you should expect from an 80s comedy. The movie stars Dan Aykroyd and Kim Basinger. I like both of these actors and think they are both legends... but not for this movie. There are also some other famous actors and actresses in this film that were not famous back when it was made. Future Buffy stars Alyson Hannigan and Seth Green both are in this movie and are both very young. Jon Lovitz also stars.The movie runs at a smooth pace. It does not drag on too long and it knows when to quit. It is entertaining and fun to watch and I would watch it again.I will give this film 6 out of 10."If you want my secrets, you'll eat my sandwich!"For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl#

Well, darlings - Here we go again - Kim Basinger plays Celeste Martin, the "dumbest-bimbo-of-an-alien" to ever set foot on the face of this goddamn planet.This so-called Sci-Fi/Romance/Comedy was obviously geared to totally capitalize on Basinger's chilling facade of beauty. And at every opportunity it did just that.You know, I, for one, am sure relieved that this flick didn't try to capitalize on Basinger's brains - 'Cause if that were the case we'd all really be in for the scare of a lifetime.Celeste's ridiculous mission here on Earth is to find the means to reverse the effects of a ray that was sent from our planet to hers, which has drastically altered the gravity situation there.Unfortunately, the idiot creator of this ray, scientist, Steven Mills (played by that big, fat, lard-assed, doofus, Dan Aykroyd) doesn't even know how the hell to re-create it. Thinking Mills to be a total liar, Celeste, naturally, resorts to (what else?, but) sexual seduction and (get this) the promise of marriage to get Mills to cough up the secret.Like, talk about low-brow comedy at its all-time lowest. There wasn't a single, solitary funny, or worthwhile joke in this entire film.You know, I had always thought that beings from other worlds would be of a far superior intelligence to that of human beings. But this flick proves this assumption to be utterly erroneous - Especially when you've got the likes of that bimbo-brained Basinger at the helm, as a space traveler.

This is the type of film one just looks forward to hating.I remember when I saw the original trailer in theaters. I almost walked out before the actual feature had even started.Everything from the premise to the acting to the dialogue is so bad it's good.It's still unclear if the film makers were intending to make something this ridiculous or if they lost be bet and were seriously attempting to make real movie and did everything wrong and just accidentally got it right.This is truly either a work of genius or utter stupidity. But it surprisingly works.The entire story takes place within only 48 hours. As the title states the plot revolves around an everyman widower scientist Dan Aykroyd whose bizarre experiments accidentally send a devastating death ray to a super intelligent aliens race in another galaxy.Kim Basinger quickly arrives as a femme fatal alien agent sent to reverse the ray. Hence most of the jokes revolve around Basinger's alieness such as drinking battery acid out of cars and reading books by touching them, as well as her super powers such sending people literally flying away, and of course her complete lack of understanding of human culture, mainly her lack of understanding sexual innuendos.It's as if 'My Favorite Martian' was a blonde bombshell.Basinger's sidekick, her sassy alien super powered handbag is actually a major star of the film as it provides many of the jokes.The speed of the plot itself set much of the slapstick tone. Aykroyd and Basinger marry within 12 hours! It's because the plot cannot be taken seriously that so many of the gags work. A few examples: When as security guard asks Basinger for some ID, her bag prints out a gun belt of 30 IDs each with the same photo of her present hair and clothing.When she goes grocery shopping at 3:00am she attempts to pay with a softball sized diamond, then a $5,000 bill. When the cashier asks her for something smaller she predictably produces a smaller $5,000 bill.When she asks her bag to describe "sex," well you can pretty much guess what it punches out.When Aykroyd's boss catches her snooping around his lab she sends him literally flying all the way back to his car. He's in such shock he say, "Yes, yes, on my way home. Must get home." As I said, these gags shouldn't logically work but they do.A few of the father daughter scenes are downright creepy. Even creepier than the scenes in 'Poltergeist' when the parents smoke pot around their kids and Craig T. Nelson later reveals his wife is 32 and their daughter is 16.Aykroyd brags to his daughter, a young Willow from 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' about his scoring with Basinger, more than one to which she is happy for him. Creepy! This film also enjoys some cult status due to its early performances by very young Juliet Lewis and Seth Green.As it was said about 'The Naked Gun,' no one over the age of seven can possibly enjoy it. The same is true here. Just embrace how dumb this movie is and it really is a lot of fun.

I mainly heard of this film because of the leading star, and the fact that this was the first film to feature body double Shelley Michelle, any nudity was cut for pre-watershed TV, but never mind. Anyway, basically slob widower Dr. Steven Mills (Dan Aykroyd) accidentally sends a great surge of energy into outer space, threatening the existence and life on another planet. This other planet has dispatched one of the agents, disguised as a human, named Celeste Martin (Kim Basinger), to sort things out, along with her superior, her talking handbag (voiced by Ann Prentiss). Steven is indeed attracted by Celeste, and with her little knowledge of Earth stuff, he, and in secret the bag, teach her everything she should know, Steven obviously finds her funny and fascinating. Eventually they do get to sex, and Celeste over time (and she was only meant to stay for 24 hours) grows to like Earth. Then there's the marriage, and until she reveals it herself, Steven's daughter Jessie (introducing young American Pie's Alyson Hannigan) was the only person that knew Celeste was an alien, so when Steven does find out, he realises the reason she's there, and helps her. In the end, the bag is destroyed, and instead of Celeste going home and telling about everything Earthy, they take Steven's womanising brother Ron (Jon Lovitz), more specifically because of the alien women taking him, so a happy ending, Ron gets endless women, and Steven, Celeste and Jessie become a proper family. Also starring Joseph Maher as Dr. Lucas Budlong, Seth Green as Fred Glass, Wesley Mann as Grady, Adrian Sparks as Dr. Morosini, Juliette Lewis as Lexie and Harry Shearer as the voice of Carl Sagan. I can agree (with the critics) it is not the story that is important, it is Basinger's charming E.T. character, and there are some good giggly moments, my favourite and most hilarious being Celeste learning to kiss using clips from well known media. Worth watching!
