Stacked Racks From Mars (4 Stars)


Jim and Mike are next door neighbours who work in the same office in Los Angeles. They have to work long hours, including weekends, so their wives, Veronica and Stephanie, develop a strong friendship.

Isis and Vala are in a spaceship orbiting the Earth, gathering information to prepare for an invasion. They watch television broadcasts that confuse them, since they are unable to distinguish what is truth and what is fiction. In order to find out more about Earth they possess the bodies of Veronica and Stephanie for a week. During this time they discover that Jim and Mike don't really work at the weekends. They make it a priority to find out why Earth men lie to their wives.

This is a beautiful little tongue-in-cheek comedy from Dean McKendrick, who is rapidly becoming one of my favourite directors. His films are simple fun that captivate through their simplicity. And don't forget the Benny-Hill-ish scene with the golf clubs in the garden.

Isis and Vala examine Earth men.
