The cast is so large that most of the actors don't stick around very long, but each has his or her moment to shine.

Oh, those Martians! They are funny, mean little buggers, and they're worthing checking out.

Rating: B+ --
Mars Attacks! may be the first sci-fi disaster movie that's also an impish black-comedy prank.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
[Mars Attacks!] works well enough, though never well enough to make up for the fact that Burton ultimately settles for less.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Zestfully tacky and broadly comic -- but never quite as funny as it promises to be -- Mars Attacks!' is fanboy-filmmaker Tim Burton's artfully crafted sendup of '50s sci-fi paranoia

Even Tim Burton's maddest fans will feel disappointment creeping in as the invasion careens along.

It's a destructo orgy without any phony-baloney sanctimony about the fellowship of man -- or spaceman.

Product Description:
Director Tim Burton unleashes MARS ATTACKS!, a vicious, affectionate, brightly-colored homage to 1950s alien invasion movies. When a shiny silver flying saucer lands in the Nevada desert, a group of skull-faced Martians exit the gleaming craft. Although they claim to be peaceful, they promptly "vaporize" a gathering of unfortunate Earthlings, kicking off a bizarre high-tech war with wild special effects. This studiously campy sci-fi spoof, based on a series of Topps bubble-gum cards, gleefully parodies not only schlock B-horror movies, but also overblown blockbusters such as INDEPENDENCE DAY. This subversive film is helped along by an all-star cast including Jack Nicholson in dual roles as both a clueless U.S. President (with First Lady Glenn Close) and a Las Vegas sleazebag. The film follows the wacky WAR OF THE WORLDS-like proceedings from the points of view of numerous colorful characters, from the inane U.S. Press Secretary (Martin Short) to a trailer-park family (Lukas Haas and Sylvia Sidney), to singer Tom Jones (as himself).
