Rating: Null/10 (14 March 2002)

Jones is a seasoned veteran of the top secret government agency that monitors the presence of extraterrestrial life on Earth and throughout the universe without our knowledge; Smith is the brash, smart-mouthed new agent recruited to join him in keeping the peace between human beings and "resident aliens." Soon, circumstances force them to try and thwart an infamously violent alien whose very presence could bring about the destruction of the planet. Wacky, laugh-out loud funny take on the alien invasion saga is slickly plotted, with clever ideas and nifty special effects. The combination of Smith's impulsive rookie and Jones' stiff veteran works to perfection, and the two leads have plenty of fine comedic moments. ***
