Fun Send Up of the Genre

Spacemen, Go-go Girls and the True Meaning of Christmas (2004)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

A couple spacemen from Uranus lands on Earth where they need Mistletoe to take back to their planet for a war. Soon some private eye Go-Go dancers are on the case and trying to track them down.

Brett Kelly's film runs just over thirty-minutes and if you come into it expecting the work of Stanley Kubrick then it's your own fault. This here is clearly a low-budget send-up of previous decades science fiction movies and for the most part I thought it was mildly entertaining. It's certainly not ground-breaking but as long as you don't take the film serious you should get a few laughs out of it.

The film is obviously trying to poke fun at its low-budget and this is obvious just by looking at the aliens. They're wearing normal clothes and just some cheap fake antenna eyes on their head. The spaceship is obviously a model and there's nothing here meant to be passed off as some sort of high art film. The dialogue is quite campy and the performances are fun-natured for what they are. And yeah, Brinke Stevens appears in a couple scenes.

As long as you know what you're getting into then you should be able to have some fun with this "C" movie.
