satur-79617 The reviewer for IMDB was way off on language. He doesn't mention blasphemy at all and there are at least 3, maybe 4 "G- - - - - n" in the first 30 minutes. Very funny movie but for some people this would be a deal breaker, plus the "moon" scene.

disdressed12 I can't believe I haven't reviewed this movie until now.it' stars Stars Orlando Jones and David Duchovny as two professors/colleagues who stumble onto something out of this world.i won't give any more of the plot away than that.you'll have to see it for yourself.it's played for laughs and it comes by those laughs honestly.it's very funny.there are some hysterically funny scenes.but it's not just a comedy.it's also a sci/fi/adventure film.Julianne Moore, Ted Levine and Sean William Scott also star and are very good here.the wring is very good here with some great dialogue.of course this is just my opinion.for me,Evolution is a well deserved 8/10

Scarecrow-88 Goofy sci-fi spoof set in an Arizona community college desert town has two scientists (David Duchovny and Orlando Bloom) discovering a variety of alien lifeforms evolving into scary monsters at an alarming rate, deciding it would be best to kill them before the extinction of the human race. How to do that? Head and Shoulders shampoo, of course! Duchovny gets to riff his X-Files image and is comfortably relaxed as a ladies' man with a rather unfortunate history regarding his work at the Pentagon…which a former associate, General Woodman (Ted Levine; Silence of the Lambs, Monk), likes to remind him of. Bloom coaches girl basketball, must endure a rectal removal of an alien "fly", and seems to be having fun as Duchovny's wise-cracking sidekick…certainly hard to forget is how Bloom is literally sucked into the anus of a giant alien monster! Seann William Scott, obviously cast due to his Stiffler character from the American Pie movies of the time, is a fireman wannabe who assists the scientists in trying to stop the aliens from evolving into a menace that would destroy all of mankind. Julianne Moore is another military scientist that eventually sides with Duchovny and Bloom after initially being on the side of Levine. Dan Aykroyd is the Arizona governor and Sarah Silverman is a former lover of Duchovny's. As you might expect, Moore and Duchovny (Moore being a redhead has a special irony to it, considering Gillian Anderson was opposite Duchovny on the X-Files) eventually hit it off. The obvious ending Ghost Busters homage is hard not to notice. Some cool special effects giving life to the aliens add substantially to the spoof; this might make a fun companion piece to Mars Attacks. The comedy aims to please and perhaps tries just a bit too hard, but I guess it succeeds more than fails. I thought William Scott was rather inconsequential to the film, lightening up his usual shtick and offering a rather dimbulb bimbo who is all gung-ho to help the scientists. A type of winged dinosaur flying through a mall could be the special effects highlight, but there is an underground cavern that becomes its own alien world which gives it a run for its money. Moore was about to move on from this kind of movie to focus on far more dramatic work. Bloom's asking for his leg to be removed before the fly inside his body reaches his testicles should get a good laugh. There's plenty of winking in Duchovny's performance which signifies that he (nor us should) doesn't take this seriously at all.

Python Hyena Evolution (2001): Dir: Ivan Reitman / Cast: David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott, Julianne Moore, Ted Levine: Ghostbusters rip-off that has no real bearing on evolution at all in a meaningful sense. David Duchovny plays a biology teacher and Orlando Jones plays a girls' volleyball coach who answer a call to the site where a meteor landed. A sample indicates that there is an organism evolving at an alarming rate. They are sabotaged when scientists take them to court to gain possession of the research. Although the solution is clever the plot is recycled and dull. It seems that director Ivan Reitman is trying to relive the success of Ghostbusters and failing miserably. Duchovny is basically playing his X-Files role while Jones spouts one-liners as if he was auditioning for a nightclub gig. Julianne Moore serves no purpose than to play the woman. She doesn't even get slimed when things get unbelievably messy. Seann William Scott who opens the film, becomes unnecessary from each passing moment. The special effects will remind viewers of Ghostbusters and while the effects here are good, they are not accompanied with a story worth evolving into a movie to begin with. Ghostbusters is funnier and far better written but Reitman proves that he cannot catch lightning in a bottle. It is a pointless and boring mess that should be sent through a blender. Score: 2 / 10
