6/10
Simple, undemanding fun
10 February 2009
First of all, I wouldn't attempt to see this movie without having already seen "The Sheriff And The Satellite Kid" if I were you: it doesn't bother at all with introductions or explanations, it just throws you right into the story: Bud Spencer is a kind of wandering sheriff / guardian angel to an extra-terrestrial kid who can do magic things with a remote-control-like device. The film is pretty much what you'd expect from a Bud Spencer sci-fi comedy: full of endearingly cheesy special effects and slapsticky fight scenes (the highlight is one set in a laundry, with one bad guy going through a pressing machine!). It drags a little in spots and has some pretty poor scene transitions (in one scene the kid stumbles and falls into a lake, next time we see him he's lying on his bed with a fever), but Bud Spencer fans and kids (the primary target audience) should enjoy it. **1/2 out of 4.
