The dad (or Big Mac) busts into the soil and inserts a makeshift straw, sucking out the life-giving water inside. OK, where was I? The planet is inhabited by weird creatures with eternally surprised looks on their faces, doing their best to survive. I guess now is a good time to state that it’s important that any sort of analytical or critical thinking must be turned off for the remainder of the film or used simply as comedy, as anything else will only result in sheer disappointment with this cinematic gem. Which planet is never revealed, but the foreboding presence of Saturn overhead suggests that it might be one of the ringed planet’s sixty-two moons. The film opens on a distant planet in our solar system.
Like fine wine, time has been very kind to our friend Mac and his zany adventures through the Los Angeles basin, resulting in one of the most unexpectedly fun re-watches in a long time.
