Awful.

Rating: 3/10 (7 February 2003)

I think the little boy (Culkin) WROTE the script, not simply portrayed a character in it. The movie premise was unbelievable (aliens capable of transversing billions of miles of space, safely landing on this planet, and abandoning their spacecraft only to be locked up in some country idiot's pantry?????). A little boy reads ONE book from a library, and is the "expert" on alien life????? The movie resurrected up every imaginable cliche, and the acting the script was so juvenile that it spoiled what could have potentially made a decent movie. I overrated this movie with a "3", simply because the photography was pretty good. The movie itself was a "1".
