A comedy? You ar supposed to laugh while watching a comedy, right? I found this comedy oddly devoid of humor. The pace is slow and slower. As a period piece, I found many anachronisms. It's supposed to be set in New Jersey. It doesn't look like new Jersey - even in the 1930s. I know. I live in New Jersey and my family has since the 18th Century. It looks more like rural Kentucky. A film should grab you and draw you in. This one left me wondering what was on TV. My parents were alive during this time. They did not believe that Martians had landed. Most people didn't. I think a film based on Orson Wells' adaptation of what might have happened if Martians had actually landed would have made for a much better film. Otherwise, watching Buckaroo Banzai is a better use of your time.
