2001: A Space Travesty (2000)

Sure, it's not as funny as his other movies, but it's not as rancid as people say. This is Leslie Nielsen not Robin Williams, people! Look at the cover art -- coneheads, phallic aliens and Nielsen's vacant-eyed stare -- does this look like a cinematic masterpiece to you? Anyway the women are hot and the alien costumes are great; don't miss the quick bits including background chatter and Bush Sr. There is enough here to make me want to see it again or to freeze-frame certain scenes -- if I had time. Sure, it's schlock -- and not his best schlock. Sure, it insults your intelligence -- but it doesn't bitch-slap it into unconsciousness. There is enough comic genius here to please the indulgent soul -- though if you keep a laffometer on hand, you probably don't have the patience. 2.5 stars.
