Evolution (2001)
7/10
Great Google Moogle!

These ratings are low. I'd give Evolution a 7.5 if I could. Dry humor goes over big w/my family; we laughed a lot.

Many of the best scenes are the hilarious/creepy attacks by alien critters.

David Duchovny and Orlando Jones have great bro chemistry as professors Ira Caine and Harry Bloch, joined by 3rd musketeer Dr. Allison Reed (Julianne Moore) as they chase down alien science after a meteor hits AZ, throwing a Buick Riviera 200 feet in the air.

Yes, it's campy. The Moore pratfalls were dumb and the evil general is a done-to-death trope. But I laughed over Moore and Duchovny talking Jones through Lamaze breathing, some gross and creative product placement, Dan Akroyd as a goofy power player, and a hilariously overacted cameo from a young Sarah Silverman. Plus Duchovny as an extra dry straight man throughout.

Popcorn time!
