The story follows “Ira” (David Duchovny) and "Harry" (Orlando Jones), who are professors at a local college and decide to check out a meteor that has fallen close to their town. Upon arrival, they find the meteor is full of odd, unsettling creatures that clearly don't belong in this world. Soon after, the military arrives, and these two are dismissed from the investigation by an incredibly inept "Gen. Woodman" (Ted Levine) and a capable scientist named “Allison” (Julianne Moore)—an ex-girlfriend of “Ira’s” who seems to enjoy being critical. As the number and size of these creatures increase and they become more threatening, the state governor, "Lewis" (Dan Aykroyd), insists that the military intervene – but what options do they have? Perhaps napalm? Meanwhile, our two scientists and their friend “Wayne” (Seann William Scott) are developing a more straightforward plan to stop the alien visitors from spreading. There were moments when it was genuinely funny, and some work went into designing the gooey, unpleasant monsters. Even some hungry blue apes appear, and SWS attempts an off-key musical performance for one in the mall, but beyond that, the film lacks originality and seems overly reliant on "Jones" to provide predictable comic relief while Duchovny and Moore don't quite connect amidst a lot of obvious product placement. It’s entertaining enough and provides some amusement, though it isn’t something you’ll likely recall later.
