Routine science-fiction movie about a nerd who tries to convince his girlfried that he's an alien. Seems to be aimed at teenagers and has the look of an afternoon TV special. There are lots of scenes that make you wonder what kind of movie it is but thankfully it gets going towards the end. There's good use of the Spire and several surprises but it's nothing special. The main gist is that we don't know if the lead is really an alien or just mad? The composer makes more of an effort than the director to keep the audience awake. The only strange thing about this picture is Carrie Crowley speaking with an English accent! I can't imagine any serious sci-fi fan being interested in this movie. Still, better than Summer of the flying saucer.
