If it wasn't for the great charisma and comic abilities of the lead actors, this film would have been very, very bad! A meteor falls onto the earth and out emerges little one-celled microorganisms. A couple of hours later, they turn into multi-celled organisms. My gosh, they're evolving like crazy! Pretty soon, they turn into mushrooms and slugs. And then reptile monsters and mean primates. This has got to be stopped! And don't let the military fix it; they always mess things up. Let the small group of science teachers, klutzes, and idiots put these destructive critters to their grave. A terrible plot, but the good actors and the "okay" jokes make this film worthwhile.
