I saw this film on TV in the middle of a sleepless night, and found myself laughing out loud. The film manages to be funny by taking itself very seriously. Not nearly as good a satire as "Airplane," I'll admit, but still a great sendup of alien infection movies. The only problem I had was the casting of David Duchovny in the lead role; I felt he was trying much too hard to be funny, which is of course the fastest way not to be funny. Still, his forced performance does not do significant harm to the film.
