Evolution

Movie Evolution Director Ivan Reitman Producer Joe Medjuck Cast David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, Orlando Jones

By Ad-Lib After you finish with hysterical bouts of laughter and your cheeks almost go numb you would wonder when was the last time you were so happy. Evolution will do that to you over and over again. I must say that there ought to be warnings for people with weak hearts to be careful of this one! But then again Laughter is the best medicine! Evolution is the best comedy I have seen this year and I doubt there is anything to look forward to that is as good this year! The story is all about…. you guessed, Evolution! Alien Evolution to be exact! After Wayne Green (Seann William Scott) and his rubber blow up doll (Used as practice for his fireman’s exam) are almost tenderized by a meteorite, Harry Block (Orlando Jones) gets a call asking him to investigate as he is the “authorized” person to be at the scene. He enlists the help of (A very handsome) Ira Kane (David Duchovny) to investigate the site of the crash. They work past a few remarkably idiotic cops and start chipping away at the rock that starts oozing a blue fluid. Upon further investigation, they find that it contains alien organisms. Further still they find that they are actually evolving by the minute. After a second visit in the name of a class visit to the site, they see that they probably have their ticket to fame. Their plans are foiled by the Govt. when General Woodman (Ted Levine) and his terminally clumsy assistant Allison Reed (Julianne Moore), who have taken over the site. Ira and Block are not going to be deterred from their mission and they go back to the site dressed as army personnel. They are caught after a very amusing display of proctology on Block caused by an alien mosquito going into his rear. Things go worse and Wayne teams up with the duo who go through many escapades including one in a shopping mall where Wayne tries his hand at singing to entice an alien dinosaur. The State Governor Lewis (Dan Aykroyd) gets wind of developments and orders the alien beings to be killed. Allison also joins the trio to help them eliminate the threat. The General in true military style would like to nuke the area but that would have dire consequences. Eventually the foursome find a way to destroy the monster by giving it a shampoo enema and all is back to normal. Be prepared to laugh, be very prepared! Because from the word go, Director Ivan Reitman is on a mission to make you fall out of your seats. Out of all the performances, Orlando Jones stands out the most! There are no words to describe Orlando’s comic genius! David Duchovny looks absolutely delicious and Julianne Moore also looks stunning though the show is stolen by the David and Jones. Seann Williams Scott doesn’t really stand out in any other way except for being a third musketeer. Special effects are good but don’t really stand out too much. Out of 10 this movie scores an easy 9. The loss of one point may go into the discovery of the poison that kills the aliens, which was a little far-fetched but humourus yet. Go see this movie with all your friends. It’s a hit all the way and after you’ve done that, go see it again!! I certainly am!!
