Critic Reviews
Screenwriters Floyd Byars and Laurie Frank's flapjack-flat characters meander through a slack plot that aims to address love between life-forms. Full Review
A smart, quick witted, wicked and genuinely funny movie. Full Review
The film's fake feminist message is at its most cyncial: Real men are repulsive but androids (created by women) are sweet, sensitive, and open-minded. Full Review
One of the more enjoyable of the indie comedies of the 80s, as much a product of its time as Woodstock was of its own.
Just like any other saturated formula, its joke wears thin after the first hour or so. Full Review
Lightweight but amusing
A one-joke comedy that's buoyed by a handful of great performances.
