Alien at the Movies

Have you ever wondered where those cute little yellow pill-shaped guys came from before they became comical henchmen for that despicable Gru? See the evolution of those innocent childlike creatures from the primordial waters to the age of dinosaurs to the coming of man.  Then it's a wonderful trip down memory lane with the sights & sounds of 1968 visiting New York, Orlando, & London. This "Three Stooges" adventure mainly follows minions Kevin, Stuart, & Bob on a quest to find a new villainous leader, Scarlett Overkill, because the minions have a habit of losing each of their adopted bosses. The sight gags come fast & furious as the film pokes fun at everything from fanatical themed conventions to "The Attack of the 50-foot Woman" to British royalty. The movie has a fabulous sound track, especially if you were born in a certain era. Stay through the credits for more silly minion antics and a funny musical curtain call.

Alien gives it 4 "beedo gibberish" stars out of 4.
