Review of Mars Attacks! (1996) by Eric H — 19 Jun 2012
The movie is one big joke. In the positive sense: Taking the alien invasion as pretext, it lets us look into the mirror. All the bad and sometimes nice things humans do find their place here, mostly ironically or in the form of black humor.
Or take the other point of view: Cliches beloved by filmmakers are exposed and beriddled. Either way, if you can laugh at man's (read: your!) own frailties, you'll love it.
