Editorial Review:
CELESTE, A SEXY EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL WITH A MISSION: SEDUCE THESWEETLY UNSUSPECTING STEVE MILLS, A RECENTLY WIDOWEDASTROPHYSICIST, AND GET HER HANDS ON HIS RESEARCH WHICH MAY HOLDTHE KEY TO SAVING HER PLANET.
Description of My Stepmother Is an Alien:
The title pretty much says it all, folks: A beauteous E.T. cozies up to an eccentric scientist (a disarmingly straight Dan Ackroyd) in an attempt to save her dying planet and falls in love in the process. Much wackiness ensues. Art it ain't, but this likably lightweight film does deliver the laughs, with assured leading performances (for once, Kim Basinger's formica loveliness is utilized as an effective comedic asset), a surprisingly bawdy sense of humor, and a riotous supporting turn by a then dewy-fresh Jon Lovitz. Good, undemanding fun. --Andrew Wright
My Stepmother Is an Alien Reviews:
My stepmother is an alien 
2009-04-24 - I enjoyed this movie in the 80's and now my kids enjoy it even more. This is brand new to them.
Now That's A Nice-Lookin' Alien! 
2009-03-27 - Here's a ditsy but humorous and generally likable movie that sports the best-looking alien I've ever seen: Kim Bassinger.
Basinger hardly ever looked better, which is saying a lot. At the time, it was unusual to see her in a comedy after viewing her in tough crime or sex-type movies for awhile. (I didn't see this film until 10 years after it had been released.) She's a decent comedienne, like her ex-husband (Alec Baldwin) has turned out to be, too.
The comedy is more chuckles than guffaws. For parents wondering about the film: there is the usual too-liberal "values" espoused here, such as sex on the first date is "cool," and a few other things involving a cute teen daughter. The profanity isn't too much, except by Jon Lovitz, who provides much of it. In all, a dumb story but a nice, feel-good ending helps.
Alyson Hannigan is adorable! 
2008-10-10 - I got this movie thinking it would be really stupid, but I wanted to see a young Alyson Hannigan. She did a phenominal job with the part, and the rest of the movie was really good too.
Great Fun Movie.
2008-08-14 - The story of a Babe-Alien coming to earth to meet the eccentric nut-scientist is just pure fun. Silly, and sometimes senseless, it is very entertaining and warm too. GET IT.
Thank You
