Mr. Scott, for the most part, manages not to seem obnoxious. Among the large supporting cast, Katharine Towne scores points as an insinuating student. They summon memories of the sci-fi flicks that inspired director Reitman and Company. The monstrous effect is humorous rather than chilling. The original Ghostbusters and the mellow Dave are his only two unqualified successes.
Evolution is modest, middling entertainment.
Starring David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Julianne Moore and Seann William Scott. Directed by Ivan Reitman. In wide release.
