Plot: An astrophysicist falls in love with a beautiful woman who is actually a disguised extraterrestrial in this high-concept comedy. Dan Aykroyd plays Steven Mills, a dedicated and harmlessly odd scientist researching ways to send radio signals to deep space. Unbeknownst to him, one of his experiments works better than expected, attracting the attention of an alien in need of help. She travels to Earth and poses as a human, assuming the name Celeste and the body of Kim Basinger. Celeste's lack of knowledge about humanity causes her to act bizarrely at times, but her odd behavior unexpectedly causes Mills to fall in love with her. The confused Celeste decides to play along for her planet's sake, but she finds her plan threatened by Mills' teenage daughter Jessie (Alyson Hannigan), who has become suspicious of Celeste after witnessing some odd behavior. The culture clash between Celeste's planet and Earth serves as an excuse for broad slapstick and sitcom-style humor, such as Celeste's fumbling efforts to enact the human ritual of kissing. ~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

My stepmother is an alien

I enjoyed this movie in the 80's and now my kids enjoy it even more. This is brand new to them.

Now That's A Nice-Lookin' Alien!
Added 3/27/2009

Here's a ditsy but humorous and generally likable movie that sports the best-looking alien I've ever seen: Kim Bassinger.

Basinger hardly ever looked better, which is saying a lot. At the time, it was unusual to see her in a comedy after viewing her in tough crime or sex-type movies for awhile. (I didn't see this film until 10 years after it had been released.) She's a decent comedienne, like her ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) has turned out to be, too.

The comedy is more chuckles than guffaws. For parents wondering about the film: there is the usual too-liberal "values" espoused here, such as sex on the first date is "cool," and a few other things involving a cute teen daughter. The profanity isn't too much, except by Jon Lovitz, who provides much of it. In all, a dumb story but a nice, feel-good ending helps.

Alyson Hannigan is adorable!

I got this movie thinking it would be really stupid, but I wanted to see a young Alyson Hannigan. She did a phenominal job with the part, and the rest of the movie was really good too.

Great Fun Movie.

The story of a Babe-Alien coming to earth to meet the eccentric nut-scientist is just pure fun. Silly, and sometimes senseless, it is very entertaining and warm too. GET IT.
