Evolution (2001)

Evolution: Directed by Ivan Reitman. With David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott. A fire-fighting cadet, two college professors, and a geeky but sexy government scientist work against an alien organism that has been rapidly evolving since its arrival on Earth inside a meteor.

“Evolution is a step up from most gross-out comedies. With a nice idea for a plot, it starts off quite serious before the stars show their comic talents off. David Duchovny has good comic timing that hasnu0026#39;t really been tapped before, Orlando Jones is far better here than in Double Take and Say It Isnu0026#39;t So and Seann William Scott is a damn fine comic actor who uses his goofy charm to his advantage. Julianne Mooreu0026#39;s constant falling over isnu0026#39;t funny, but you canu0026#39;t have everything. Itu0026#39;s a shame that it flopped in the US, because itu0026#39;s really good. The special effects are decent, the turns are likeable and the script is loaded with sharp wit. OK, maybe some jokes go dead but seeing Orlando Jones getting lubricated after a bug enters his body and Scott singing to a flying monster in a mall is reason enough to go see this excellent summer blockbuster.”
