Pretty Good

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I LIKED this movie. it was funny, had GOOD actors; wasn't too long and had a neat Scify plot. Did not insult my intelligence. I usually can'f handle too much Tom Green as he gets a little too nasty-for-the-sake-of-nasty-without-funny for my taste. but he was really good in this. He could so be a good dramatic actor if he wanted to. Hated to see him so old and heavy looking. This was my first time to notice Sarain Boylain, who was superb and should have gotten top billing with tom and Crispin glover. The scenery was good. The special effects were smart. i noticed that they shot some scenes leaving the special effects to one's imagination without actually showing the space technology, relying on the actors to make it work ---and they DO! Plot sounds a little cheesy, but they carry it out very well. Didn't recognize Crispin glover until after i watched it, then went back for another look. He was made for that part. Enjoy!

I hate to be one that gives a low vote, but this time i have to. I seriously LOVE Tom Green. I've seen pretty much everything he have done. He is the best comedian ever. That's why i gave this movie a chance. Well, this was a waste of my time.. It's really bad. Tom is a good actor and all, but he doesn't deliver his crazyness in this movie. He isn't funny at all. No one in this movie is funny. This alien parody is made to seriously to be funny, but too dumb to be taken seriously. It's just awful.I would not recommend anyone to watch this movie. It's not the worst i've seen in my life, but it's really bad. That's why i give it 3/10. I hate myself a little for giving a movie with Tom Green that low rating, but i have no choice. You can watch it yourself to see what i mean. Or you can watch his great movie Freddy Got Fingered! Bob the Butler is also pretty funny, but not as great as Freddy Got Fingered.So that's all i can say. Stay away from this and watch some of his other movies instead!

Had never heard of this movie, but it was on cable and I watched it.I like SciFi and dumb comedies and this has both. If you like movies like 'Mars Attacks' then you'll probably like this one.No gore. Just pretty dumb fun. I thought it was pretty silly at times, but really liked it. A town is invaded by aliens who intend to turn Earth into a vacation spot for aliens. In order to do this they need to raise the temperature of the Earth. They also plan on turning the humans into slaves.The aliens pretend to be humans who represent a large corporation and take over a town by promising everyone jobs at a facility they are building in town. The facility they are building is a cover for their real work of getting the Earth ready as their vacation spot.A washed up hockey player - turned town drunk - discovers they are aliens, teams up with another person and they decide to fight the aliens.The final fight between the aliens and our 'heroes' is quite funny. What they use for weapons is something I've never seen. One of the weapons used against the aliens is Slurpee fired from a child's plastic gun.I recommend you try it, if you get a chance to see this movie.

I find Tom Green is very underrated. He shows great potential in his films and shows alike. Crispin Glover, I think, is a very good actor. That's why when I saw Freezer Burn: The Invasion Of Laxdale in my local video store, I was more than glad to rent it. My theory that this might be terrible was right. This is a horror comedy that's not creepy or funny at all. Tom Green is terrible as ex-hockey player Bill Swanson, who must save the small town of Laxdale from a group of aliens who want to make Laxdale their own little paradise. This pack of aliens is lead by Viergacht (Crispin Glover). Glover is terrible, just sitting there, vapidly dull, not even required to say a word. As for the movie itself, the movie is also vapidly dull. It just lies there on the floor waiting for a good scare or a good laugh, which never even comes close to happening. The movie is nowhere close to original, and is nothing that I haven't seen before. In fact, I've seen being done 100 times better before. This is a terrible movie both in and out, and I think you should do yourself a big favor and skip this one.
