"Make them happy memories."

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2013)

Based on a Comic Book that was based on the Real-Life MiB. Yes there have actually been reports since the Fifties that after a UFO or Flying Saucer encounter, many People reported being visited by enigmatic "Agents" dressed all in black and wearing sunglasses.
But the reports were anything but amusing to those who had the unfortunate visitation. They were usually told quite forcefully, in short, to shut-up or pay the price. These were sinister, ominous, and frightening "People" that some reported as being really strange with pale white skin, awkward demeanors, and uncomfortable in domestic situations. In other words they didn't quite have a handle on the Human thing and were themselves Aliens masquerading as Government Operatives.
The Movie takes the concept and turned it into an offbeat Comedy that works quite well. After all, those Real-Life situations were nothing more than anxiety prone, easily traumatized, Folks who were imagining such things at best, and at worst outright Hoaxes. So none of it is to be taken seriously.
Given that, this succeeds on many levels. it taps into the whole Ufology thing and spins a wild tale of a mostly benign Alien Invasion. But there are so many different types of Lifeforms that occasionally some become a threat and so the "Black" Ops Government tries to keep a watch on the goings and comings.
This is all handled in such good spirits here that it becomes an infectious, silly romp that is immensely entertaining and a lot of fun. It holds up well with good Performances and Direction, wacky SFX and make-up, and a good score. Not quite as good as Mars Attacks (1996), but still quite a Show.
