SPACED INVADERS

SPACED INVADERS
   Film (1989). Smart Egg Pictures. Dir Patrick Read Johnson, starring Douglas Barr, Royal Dano, Ariana Richards, J.J. Anderson, Gregg Berger, Fred Applegate. Screenplay Johnson, Scott Alexander. 100 mins. Colour.
   This spoof, obviously made for younger viewers, starts promisingly with the premise that the diminutive crew of a Martian spaceship, in the middle of a battle, pick up the radio signal of Orson Welles's broadcast of WAR OF THE WORLDS, and hasten to Earth to join the presumptive Martian invasion,only to find a disinterested population (in small-town Illinois) more or less ignoring them, or mistaking them for trick-or-treating children. The ensuing gags seldom rise above poorly choreographed knockabout farce, with no great ingenuity but a perceptible flavour of bigotry.
