Invasion of the Saucer-Men

Invasion of the Saucer-Men ★★½

"I expected to be frightened on my wedding night, but nothing like this."

Like many have stated, our little green men don't get enough screen time and ultimately the climatic battle is underwhelming. However, I had a good time with this one. It has a sense of humor about itself that felt charming. The supporting cast, especially the chief of police, are played with a breezy, whereas in many films of this type are usually filled with wooden and forced performances. I think the campy, light script was performed relatively well if uneven (the movie avoids long scenes of military/scientific explanations to its benefits, but our hero does have spontaneous moments of knowledge bestowed to him from nowhere instead).

The movie loses some points, like so many of these films, by rushing everything and not being quite crazy enough.
