Great soundtrack and a great concept. David Duchovny characters just can't catch a break from the government can they? My twin peaks fan heart was filled with joy when his character's ex was called Denise, even though I imagine this was purely coincidental. As much of a fan of the X-files, Ghostbusters and the theory of evolution I am, I unfortunately could not give this film a higher rating. While according to iMDB it was Julianne Moore's idea to have her character be so clumsy, the film is still too misogynistic in its humour, and even if it wasn't problematic it still just isn't done that well. Also, this film being a head and shoulders ad is just strange. David Duchovny and Julianne Moore are certainly much better actors than this film would make it seem they are, and Ivan Reitman is a much better director. This could have been a really good film, but a lot of it just falls flat. I wonder if it would have benefited from being more of a horror comedy, but that may just be because I like horror comedies so much. I also wish they'd used more practical effects, it was almost entirely CGI, but I am biased towards practical effects. Still, I've watched it a few times now and would probably watch it again.
