i've always heard reserved-but-still-unreasonably-complimentary things about Galaxy Quest, and understand them quite well after seeing the movie: here is a determinedly three-star flick that could not really be any better. (that last part is a little ambiguous, but i mean it in the nicest way possible.) the scenario is genuinely clever, if not altogether ambitious, and the no-name writers and director earn their pay alongside a cast that (particularly in the case of Enrico Colantoni, as the smiley, spastic leader of an alien race) obviously had a lot of fun. entertainment at it's most inconsequential is entertainment still.
