pantagruella Some films become part of your life, they provide a vocabulary, inform your life, prevent you from going into business. This is one of the greats. It doesn't have to be defended, No excuses need to be offered. This is a superlative film.The father of those kids is one of the greatest fathers. He's an every man. Someone we can all relate to.The pest control hero who wants to get into management. That is a hero indeed, reluctant, but eventually pulls his weight.The girl at the garage. She is lovely, a little hoarse, but quick-witted and spirited.The UFO expert is enthused and informed. He is up against it with the local radio audience, but he has right on his side.The couple that runs the bakery. They don't panic easily. I could taste one of those fritters now.The car chase. One of the ten best in films.The villain. Another great. Much better than john Travolta in the Punisher.The funeral for the cow is a touching surprise in an all-action film.The evocation of the simple pleasures of country life such as night fishing will always be with me.The reference to King Lear as a man who takes crazy risks.

ElijahCSkuggs Since I'm such a fan of Gremlins, the title of Gremloids immediately spoke out to me. But I then quickly learned that Gremloids isn't about little green creatures, hopefully a spoof of some kind, but it's actually another spoof of the Star Wars franchise. And like another Star Wars spoof, Spaceballs, this also delivers some laughs. But no way as consistent as Spaceballs, though it does try. It's an incredibly cheesy film, that only true lovers of cheese will probably eat right up. I personally thought the movie started off much better than how it concluded. Though I did find the ending funny. I'm a sucker for that silly hillbilly schtick. Anyways, Gremloids is a must see for any Star Wars completists out there and for anyone who loves the cheesy side of film. Plus you get a young Chris Elliot playing an inexperienced scientist. Not bad, not bad at all.

davyboy999 This film is bar far the best Star Wars spoof.Why? Because it's played completely straight through-out. It is very low budget (which adds to the appeal) but the actors are all spot on.It's vital to have a knowledge of Star Wars, generic 50s/60s Sci-Fi B movies and Monty Python.The plot is basically that Lord Buckethead, through a slight error whilst chasing the Princess who's stolen some secret transmissions, ends up on Earth convinced that the Princess is somewhere in small town USA. Strangely the locals are none the wiser.The film reaches its climax with Lord Buckethead chasing the two heroes and a large scale battle between the Army and Lord Buckhead's spaceship with it's Death Ray.Best line - "Seize the fritters!"

Hix_TM Let me say, this movie's a hoot, I would even go as far to say it's almost 'Plan 9' quality. I know... I know, that's a big thing to live up to, but believe me, it does so.This is the ultimate example of how committed low-budget film-makers are. The aspect ratio switches between 1.85 and 2.35 all the time, which I presume is due to a grueling hardship to get the film finished.. even with different types of film stocks. Even Ed Wood didn't go that far.I will reveal nothing about plot details, but I will say that it has one of the best surprise endings that I've ever seen... far better than the Sixth Sense. Man, It's one of those moments where you just wish you could erase your memory and re-live it all again.
