Project ALF

Six years after NBC canceled ALF somebody thought it would be a good idea to bring a little bit of Melmac back to television. And I for one am glad that they did. I was a huge fan of ALF as a kid. I even dressed up as him for Halloween when I was 6, and I think the mask is still around somewhere.

The movie is probably not for everybody, it is pretty cheezy but surprisingly funny. I found myself laughing out loud several times during the movie, more times than I did when I watched Tropic Thunder in the theater the other day. One weird thing is that while the show was on NBC, the movie aired on ABC, and ALF makes a joke about Fox.
