A spaceship stops at an intergalactic fuel station. While the captain's refuelling, one of his idiotic companions plays with the controls and accidentally starts the ship and crashes into the earth.
This causes a sensation, and the media celebrates the extraterrestrials, the military interrogates them for eternal wisdom.
However soon they recognise that the visitors are not the brightest sparks - although some generals believe it's just a mask.......
It's unbelievable that two of the finest comedians of the eighties could write such inane, tiresome, lazy rubbish like this? These are two of the creators of Not The Nine O' Clock news, and were regarded as masters of their art.
So the film follows three Aliens, with obvious cultural reference and winking at the general public, saying subliminally 'you'll buy anything the most popular thing on the planet tells you to buy, and I'll get rich from your stupidity'
Pretty much life imitating art back in March of 1985.
On the other side of the story, we have Mel Smith in his own One Flew Over The Cuckoos nest movie, with even a pseudo chief!!! Oh the hilarity.
It's just another worthless British Comedy where famous comedians/Celebrities thought they were so popular, people would flock to see their film.
See also The Boys In Blue, Alien Autopsy, Keith Lemon: The Film, and Guest House Paradiso.
All utterly appalling, but featuring endearing small screen stars who are bearable in small 30 minute segments.
It would have gotten a lower score, but to see Dr Legg from Eastenders shirtless, that's priceless.
Otherwise, horrible stuff..
