Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The title pretty much says it all, folks: A beauteous E.T. cozies up to an eccentric scientist (a disarmingly straight Dan Ackroyd) in an attempt to save her dying planet and falls in love in the process. Much wackiness ensues. Art it ain't, but this likably lightweight film does deliver the laughs, with assured leading performances (for once, Kim Basinger's formica loveliness is utilized as an effective comedic asset), a surprisingly bawdy sense of humor, and a riotous supporting turn by a then dewy-fresh Jon Lovitz. Good, undemanding fun. --Andrew Wright

Excellent Movie...A great laugh.......2007-07-04
I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys good comedy and loves to laugh out loud. Dan Aykroyd, Kim Basigner and Alison Hannigan star in My Step Mother is an Alien.
I remember seeing this movie at the cinema when I was 13 years old...now being in my early 30's I really enjoyed seeing it again.
I am so glad that amazon brought this movie out on DVD. Dan Aykroyd is a comic genius and Kim Basigner just shines in this role as celeste.
Order your copy today...you won't regret it.
Fun for Everyone.......2006-11-10
This movie is pure fun. My whole family loved it. It's corny and the acting leaves you feeling like it's amatuer hour, but its fun to watch. We made popcorn and laughed our way through the whole thing. Watch it and enjoy!
Cute movie with great Dan Aykroyd lines and Jon Brant's band Siren on Soundtrack!.......2006-05-09
Siren, which later had to change their
name to Red Siren (after Jon had left)
had it's 'retracted' second single
"One good lover" from it's debut LP
on this hip movie's soundtrack. Kim
Bassinger is atractive in parring
with Aykroyd, in his best movie since
'The Great Outdoors' with late Canuck-
mate John Candy.
SNEEZES, SEX AND HAM AND CHEESE ON RYE.......2005-12-21
This is a deliriously silly little movie, but it's fun to watch. Kim Basinger utilizes her breathtaking beauty to its fullest as she discovers the joys of becoming human, from sneezing to sex to ham and cheese on rye with mayo. Basinger's comic timing carries the movie, and even the usually disposable Dan Aykroyd's performance is comic and he and Basinger have a good chemistry. There are some delightful sequences, e.g., when Kim has to discover how to kiss, her alien ally shows her films of several different types of kisses, and when she has to have sex, she does a sensual striptease replete with windblown hair and all. Jon Lovitz is around for comic relief as Aykroyd's bachelor brother, and it's all mindless nonsense; it's also quite entertaining. Basinger is a blast.
Barberella Psychadela It's Not.......2005-10-25
The opening strip scene is reminiscent of Barbarella - too bad those aren't Basinger's legs though. Nerdy scientist falls for galactic beauty as presented by Kim Basinger. I have never understood Ackroyd's characters. And keeping in form, he is once again as unfunny as mud. Basinger tries so hard - too hard - to rescue this film, but that's no small task considering the ineptness of this way silly film. OK so she munches on batteries, and thinks she has to cook everything in the kitchen at mealtime. She seems a genuine Betty Crocker given that her favorite foods are nuts and bolts. Jon Lovitch also tries to prop up Ackroyd and this weak script. However, his contribution seems way overstated to me. He doesn't have much to do. Funny are the scenes inwhere the teenage girl eventually decides that her step-mother is not like other people. Basinger's character has a magic purse with an annoying creepy critter in it who tells her what to do. Think, Jar-Jar Blinks. I suppose it's OK as a backdrop for housecleaning. But that's it. Flat and mechanical.

The title pretty much says it all, folks: A beauteous E.T. cozies up to an eccentric scientist (a disarmingly straight Dan Ackroyd) in an attempt to save her dying planet and falls in love in the process. Much wackiness ensues. Art it ain't, but this likably lightweight film does deliver the laughs, with assured leading performances (for once, Kim Basinger's formica loveliness is utilized as an effective comedic asset), a surprisingly bawdy sense of humor, and a riotous supporting turn by a then dewy-fresh Jon Lovitz. Good, undemanding fun. --Andrew Wright
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Movie...A great laugh.......2007-07-04
I recommend this film to anyone who enjoys good comedy and loves to laugh out loud. Dan Aykroyd, Kim Basigner and Alison Hannigan star in My Step Mother is an Alien.
I remember seeing this movie at the cinema when I was 13 years old...now being in my early 30's I really enjoyed seeing it again.
I am so glad that amazon brought this movie out on DVD. Dan Aykroyd is a comic genius and Kim Basigner just shines in this role as celeste.
Order your copy today...you won't regret it.
Fun for Everyone.......2006-11-10
This movie is pure fun. My whole family loved it. It's corny and the acting leaves you feeling like it's amatuer hour, but its fun to watch. We made popcorn and laughed our way through the whole thing. Watch it and enjoy!
Cute movie with great Dan Aykroyd lines and Jon Brant's band Siren on Soundtrack!.......2006-05-09
Siren, which later had to change their
name to Red Siren (after Jon had left)
had it's 'retracted' second single
"One good lover" from it's debut LP
on this hip movie's soundtrack. Kim
Bassinger is atractive in parring
with Aykroyd, in his best movie since
'The Great Outdoors' with late Canuck-
mate John Candy.
SNEEZES, SEX AND HAM AND CHEESE ON RYE.......2005-12-21
This is a deliriously silly little movie, but it's fun to watch. Kim Basinger utilizes her breathtaking beauty to its fullest as she discovers the joys of becoming human, from sneezing to sex to ham and cheese on rye with mayo. Basinger's comic timing carries the movie, and even the usually disposable Dan Aykroyd's performance is comic and he and Basinger have a good chemistry. There are some delightful sequences, e.g., when Kim has to discover how to kiss, her alien ally shows her films of several different types of kisses, and when she has to have sex, she does a sensual striptease replete with windblown hair and all. Jon Lovitz is around for comic relief as Aykroyd's bachelor brother, and it's all mindless nonsense; it's also quite entertaining. Basinger is a blast.
Barberella Psychadela It's Not.......2005-10-25
The opening strip scene is reminiscent of Barbarella - too bad those aren't Basinger's legs though. Nerdy scientist falls for galactic beauty as presented by Kim Basinger. I have never understood Ackroyd's characters. And keeping in form, he is once again as unfunny as mud. Basinger tries so hard - too hard - to rescue this film, but that's no small task considering the ineptness of this way silly film. OK so she munches on batteries, and thinks she has to cook everything in the kitchen at mealtime. She seems a genuine Betty Crocker given that her favorite foods are nuts and bolts. Jon Lovitch also tries to prop up Ackroyd and this weak script. However, his contribution seems way overstated to me. He doesn't have much to do. Funny are the scenes inwhere the teenage girl eventually decides that her step-mother is not like other people. Basinger's character has a magic purse with an annoying creepy critter in it who tells her what to do. Think, Jar-Jar Blinks. I suppose it's OK as a backdrop for housecleaning. But that's it. Flat and mechanical.
