I found it to be actually pretty funny. But then again, I'm a sucker for low-brow humour. If you're looking for some intelligent laughs then definitely pass this one over. But if you're looking for some goofy humour with a ridiculous plot premise then this is worth seeing.

For whatever reason, I like David Duchovny, but I think he might have been as bored with this movie as I was. He is so clearly not trying that I'm pretty sure he refers to Julianne Moore as Scully a couple of times.

If you are ready for some dumb humor and a silly premise, this film will entertain you. It's essentially a rip-off of Ghostbusters made by the people who made Ghostbusters. Never does this movie stimulate any intellectual part of the brain, but it's still fun. Meh!

A crack-team of college professors, odd-balls and a token black guy gear up to battle the supernatural. Sound familiar? Coming from director Ivan Reitman, it should. When it dodges the obvious scat jokes (and I ain't talking "skeet-bobba-loo-bop"), it's actually quite funny. Not great, but good, and easily better than Ghostbusters 2.

A strange blend of sci-fi action sensibilities and social commentary comedy works perfectly in this film that feels as if it were a B-production from the very start. The comedy shines through in the writing, and the actors are capable enough to make it work to the point that it draws the laughs it is supposed to, and at the same time provides a bit of visual wizardry usually reserved for intricate sci-fi pictures.

What a great popcorn flick. If you're looking for mindless fun then just turn off your brain and enjoy. Everything is just well done, and the movie never takes itself too seriously. The cast pretty much nail all of their roles. Plus it was made in that sweet spot before every movie like this became a cgied mess. Yeah, it loses a few points for being what basically amounts to a Ghostbusters redux with aliens, but they're able to make it work, so who ultimately cares.

Reitman gleefully revisits the cock-eyed and ghoulishly funny sensibilities of GHOSTBUSTERS (mixed with a little GREMLINS) to deliver a satisfying comic horror film; while there are some excessive threads which drag occasionally (Scott has some funny moments, but he is basically surplus, and why is Moore falling over all the time?) they can't dampen proceedings; Duchovny may be bland, but he is the perfect counterpoint to scene-stealing maniac Jones ("There's *always* time for lubricant!")

Aliens. The Pentagon. A secret conspiracy involving a military cover-up. David Duchovny. Evolution's various elements read like a script treatment for the next X-Files movie. It even features a Scully stand-in: Allison Reed (Julianne Moore), is a sultry-yet-detached, red-headed scientist whose commitment to procedure and fact-finding allow her to mask an attraction to the more free-wheeling, rule-breaking biology professor, Ira Kane (Duchovny).
