It's full of Plympton's trademark twisted humor, with lots of sex thrown in.
While the humor is recognizably Plympton, he has actually bothered to construct a real story this time, and the joke sequences are shorter and better integrated. The visual style is also richer and "better drawn" than before.
Zany, exuberantly irreverent animated space adventure.
Mutant Aliens would have been brilliant as a short; there's just not enough story for a full-length feature, so the film seems strung together.
Plympton fails to develop compelling personalities for any of his characters.
This lackluster outing is mostly just a retread of past glories.
When Plympton isn't indulging his manias, the film just sort of nods off, and nothing much happens -- either visually or storywise -- for what seems like ages.
