Hilarious!

Rating: 3/10 (11 October 1999)

I saw this film with my father, and when he laughed at the first lady's death, he said: "I'm glad I didn't see this film in a theatre. People might have been mad at me." This film is simply hilarious, even when it doesn't intend to be so. I don't believe i have ever seen so much waste of talents. (Goldblum, Smith, Fierstein et.c.) ID4 contains EVERY cliché you could ever expect in a film like this. It's like the script writers sat down in front of a computer and deliberately chose the most frequent, least surprising lines for every moment. I'll never understand why people spend millions of dollars on special effects and then forget about the script, when a good script is in no way more expensive than a bad one. This film is worth seeing to get some good laughs. That is the only reason. And that makes it a total waste of money, because as we all know, Ed Wood could make a film of similar quality with much less money.
