This movie, as good as it seems, is very hard to watch and gross. Middle schoolers and older should watch this, and here's why: Sex(yellow): some kissing; references to sexual and asexual reproduction in funny ways; some implied making out; some short scenes of mild sex-related actions. Violence(yellow): many gross out scenes involving worms and aliens. Language(yellow): the "d"- word is used.

What Parents Need to Know
About Evolution
Parents need to know that this movie has some strong language and very raunchy toilet humor, with two extended sequences featuring rectal probes. There's sexual humor and mild sexual situations. Characters drink and smoke. Characters are in sci-fi peril, mostly comic. Guns and shooting are equated with manliness. A woman shoplifts and another holds up a sign that says "I can't die a virgin." Female and black characters are smart, brave, and accomplished, and inter-racial colleagues have a strong friendship. But there's an unpleasant joke about how all a female character needs is "a good humping," and, to make things worse, she overhears the comment and is insulted not because it is sexist but because it implies that she is not sexual.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about evolution and natural selection, and about how Ira got in to trouble and how he reacted to it. Why didn't he care more about his job? What would happen if aliens did come to Earth?

It was like watching the Brady Bunch episode of X-Files. Funny and with aliens!

This movie was scarey because of alien creatures that killed people.
This movie was scarey because alien creatures killed people, but they were not that real looking so it was easy to get over being scared. The movie was also funny because of the way the actors joked together. It is an ok movie, but not the best movie I've ever seen.
